Women Who Overcame Low AMH

Teachings

Breakthroughs 10

  • Low AMH numbers don't determine your fertility destiny - a woman with AMH of 0.1 can still conceive naturally

    Marcy's AMH was 0.1, extremely close to zero, which doctors used to push her toward IVF, yet she conceived naturally at 39 and delivered a healthy baby boy.

  • Women can become more fertile in their late thirties than they were in their mid-thirties, regardless of medical predictions

    Krysten was told she had low AMH and diminished ovarian reserve at 34, but conceived naturally at 38 after years of failed treatments, proving fertility can improve with age and mindset work.

  • Natural pregnancies during IVF failures are evidence your body knows how to conceive naturally

    Melissa had 4 out of 5 pregnancies naturally (despite low AMH diagnosis) but continued IVF because she was told that was the only way. She realized 'I'm actually fertile as f***' and conceived naturally at 39 just 2 months after stopping IVF.

  • Fertility doctors said this would never happen, but my body was in the game - she was doing what she knows to do

    Caroline was told with 36.9 FSH and 0.07 AMH she'd never conceive naturally, but she got pregnant four times total and is now 24 weeks pregnant naturally at 33.

  • Women with less than 1% odds routinely beat those statistics through mindset work and trusting their maternal intuition over medical predictions

    Pauline was told she had less than 1% chance of natural conception due to endometriosis and AMH of 0.16, but conceived naturally within one year of mindset work. Rosanne notes her clients routinely beat 1% odds as evidenced throughout her podcast library.

  • A 42-year-old woman conceived naturally and had two healthy babies after being told she was premenopausal and could only use donor eggs

    Michelle's patient was told by two different doctors she barely had any eggs and needed donor eggs for IVF. After working with Michelle for 3-4 weeks before COVID, she conceived naturally and had her first baby, then conceived again naturally for a second baby.

  • When you really want something, you put your mind to it - but you have to actually believe it's possible

    Maren had to shift from going into treatments thinking 'I know this isn't going to work' to genuinely believing it would happen. She conceived naturally at 41 after this belief shift, despite low ovarian reserve and irregular cycles.

  • Age and test results are just information, not verdicts - it might take longer but there will be a good one

    Despite being 41 with low ovarian reserve and irregular cycles, Maren's doctor told her 'it just takes one good one' and 'that doesn't mean anything, it might just be a little bit longer.' Maren conceived naturally after embracing this perspective.

  • You need people on your team who believe in you without bullshitting you

    Maren specifically chose healthcare providers who were honest about her age and low ovarian reserve but still supportive of her goals. Her doctor would say 'you're not getting younger' but also 'it doesn't mean anything, you just keep going.'

  • Statistics don't define your fertility destiny - you can refuse to let numbers become your truth and still conceive naturally against all odds

    Dr. Lucy had an FSH over 100 and undetectable AMH at age 31, was told she was in menopause with less than 10% chance of natural conception, but conceived naturally and is now 37+ weeks pregnant with her baby boy.

Teachings 24

  • When facing multiple fertility challenges, working on mindset before pursuing medical interventions can completely change how you interpret and respond to diagnoses

    Marcy had ovarian cysts, debris in fallopian tubes, AMH of 0.1, and her husband had suboptimal sperm analysis, yet she conceived naturally at 39 after doing mindset work first, avoiding the IUI and IVF her doctors recommended.

  • Your body will tell you what's right - listen to how treatment options feel, not just medical protocols

    Sam felt drained and 'off' when doctors described IVF injections and stimulation, but felt excited and joyful about the donor egg process, leading to her successful conception on first transfer.

  • Low AMH with regular periods is not actually a fertility diagnosis - if you're releasing an egg every month, the quantity in reserve doesn't affect current fertility

    Dr. Merhi challenged 10 fertility doctors to explain why low ovarian reserve causes infertility in women with regular cycles and none could answer, because AMH measures quantity not quality of eggs being released.

  • High-dose fertility medications cause receptor downregulation, making follicles die instead of grow, especially harmful for women with low ovarian reserve

    Dr. Merhi explains the cellular mechanism where excessive FSH and LH medications cause receptors to shut down and hide, killing follicles rather than feeding them, which is basic medical school knowledge.

  • Lab values like AMH and FSH only indicate that fertility treatments are less likely to work in an office setting, not that natural conception is impossible

    Dr. Bove clarifies 'those are not fertility markers. It's very, very important to understand this. All those things tell us is that fertility treatments in an office setting are less likely to work.'

  • For women with concerning lab values, less intervention is often more effective than aggressive IVF protocols

    Dr. Bove explains 'when I see somebody with sort of concerning lab values, sometimes I say to them, actually, less is more. Why would we stress your body through this whole darn process to get one egg?'

  • The desire in your heart to be a mom is there because it was meant for you - when there's a will, you will find a way

    Kristen overcame 4 consecutive miscarriages in 9 months, low ovarian reserve, and a cancer scare to conceive naturally at 37 and carry her daughter to term after doing mindset work.

  • Doctors can be wrong about your fertility prognosis—trust your body over their statistics

    Fran was told she would likely need IVF due to low AMH and poor egg quality, yet conceived naturally twice after this diagnosis, ultimately carrying baby Gianna to term.

  • You are either the authority in your life or you hand that authority to somebody else - claim your authority

    Caroline was told by fertility doctors she'd never conceive naturally with 36.9 FSH and 0.07 AMH, but she listened to her inner voice saying 'my body can do this' and conceived naturally within a year of mindset work.

  • Statistics are meaningless when applied to your individual case - you get to choose whether to be a statistic or an exception.

    Amanda was given a 3% chance of natural conception and 10% with IUI, but chose to focus on the 10% possibility rather than the 90% failure rate. She succeeded with IUI, proving statistics don't determine individual outcomes.

  • Most people look for an external fix for an internal problem on their fertility journey

    Rosanne emphasizes that while women may have diagnoses like PCOS, endometriosis, low AMH, the real issue is how they think about themselves within that diagnosis. Women with all these conditions have babies when they address the internal work first.

  • The desire in your heart is there for a reason - trust it even when statistics and past failures suggest otherwise

    Louise had low AMH, failed IVF, and was told by a fertility specialist to 'just keep rolling the dice,' but she trusted the persistent desire in her heart and conceived naturally at 42, proving the specialist wrong.

  • Let go of the fear and have faith in your body - don't give numbers more power than you give yourself

    Lucy was obsessed with FSH, LH, and AMH numbers initially but learned to stop letting statistics dictate her future. Her son just turned 4.

  • The carnivore diet consists of eating only fatty animal products - meat, eggs, butter, bacon - eliminating all plant foods to reduce inflammation and support fertility

    Dr. Kiltz reports that at 66 years old, following carnivore for 11 years eliminated his bowel bleeding, arthritis, psoriasis, kidney stones, and migraines. He has seen patients with low AMH, PCOS, endometriosis, and adenomyosis achieve pregnancy on this approach.

  • Mind and body connection is crucial - stress blocks fertility by preventing optimal environment for pregnancy

    Fatma emphasized managing stress to create fertile environment, conceiving naturally after myomectomy surgery despite zero AMH before her successful IVF.

  • Your desire to become a mother is meant for you - it's part of your story

    Fatma held onto this belief through 12 trips to Turkey, zero AMH, fibroids, adenomyosis, and multiple failures before conceiving at 44.

  • Persistence and resourcefulness matter more than perfect circumstances

    Fatma traveled 163,000 miles across 12 trips to Turkey, lost clients from her business, and kept going despite zero AMH and multiple failures.

  • Frozen eggs from younger years can work even when fresh cycles fail

    Fatma froze only 6 eggs at age 38 with poor reserve, and those eggs created 3 high-grade embryos that led to her baby at 44 after fresh cycles failed.

  • High-achieving women are especially susceptible to the seduction of statistics and can get trapped in their analytical minds

    Dr. Kathy, both a physician and lawyer, went down the 'rabbit hole' of AMH research and statistics, initially trusting science more than her body despite doctors having more faith in her than she had in herself.

  • You have the right to try what feels aligned, even if statistics suggest otherwise

    Kathy gave herself permission to try naturally for three months despite her low AMH, asking Rosanne 'do I have the right to ask for my baby to come naturally?' and ultimately succeeding.

  • Being told you have poor egg quality at 34 is not a life sentence - it's information that can be transformed with the right approach

    Dr. Caroline was told she had 'terrible, shitty egg quality' at 34, but went on to have successful IVF and then conceive naturally for the first time at 35.

  • You can be more fertile years later than when you were younger if you address root causes

    Kate went from retrieving 4 eggs in her first IVF to 19 eggs two years later after addressing autoimmune thyroid issues and inflammation through functional medicine.

  • You cannot outperform your self-image - you must see yourself as powerful enough to receive what you want

    Maren had to transform from seeing herself as a victim of irregular cycles and low ovarian reserve to seeing herself as a CEO who assembled a team and made empowered decisions. She conceived naturally at 41 within weeks of this identity shift.

  • Taking your fertility future into your own hands is a gangster move that leads to success

    Jennifer McAleer refused to accept her 0.05 AMH diagnosis and instead pursued acupuncture, meditation, and nutrition changes, resulting in natural conception at 43

Perspectives 11

  • Donor eggs are not settling or less than - they can be the path of joy and ease that leads to your baby

    Sam overcame the taboo belief that donor eggs meant 'not my child' and found the process felt 'like building a bear' - fun and exciting, conceiving on her first transfer.

    36:30
  • Medical statistics may not include your demographic or situation

    Melissa realized 'all these big statistics that I wasn't a part of the testing pool' yet she kept getting pregnant naturally despite being told IVF was her only option due to low AMH at age 34.

    19:24
  • Low AMH doesn't determine your fertility potential—mindset and belief do

    Fran was told she had low AMH and would need IVF, but conceived naturally twice after her diagnosis, ultimately carrying baby Gianna to term at 31 years old.

    8:36
  • Fertility challenges transcend age - you can have the diagnosis of someone in their fifties while in your twenties

    Erika was told at 29 that her AMH and egg counts were like those of a 50-year-old, yet she still conceived naturally at 31.

    3:38
  • Age-based fertility predictions are often premature and devastating, but not definitive verdicts

    Heather was told at 41 she had 'no chance' of having a baby due to her age combined with endometriosis and low AMH, yet conceived naturally at 46 and delivered Emily at 47.

    6:29
  • Doctors' negative fertility assessments can be influenced by their business model rather than your actual potential

    Alina's fertility doctor said her results were 'not promising' and IVF was the only way, but her acupuncturist said her AMH was normal for her age and partner's morphology could improve with lifestyle changes. The fertility doctor treated them like customers ready to pay for IVF rather than a couple wanting help to conceive naturally.

    19:48
  • Statistics represent averages, not individual outcomes - you are not average

    Fatma had zero AMH and was told to use donor eggs, but conceived at 44 with her own eggs after 12 trips to Turkey and multiple failures.

    20:07
  • Physicians are not magicians - medical predictions are not absolute verdicts on what's possible for your fertility

    Dr. Nisha, a physician with two doctoral degrees, was told at 44 she had undetectable AMH and was premenopausal with no chance of conception, yet conceived naturally in one cycle after changing her mindset approach.

    19:12
  • Past treatment failures don't predict future success - your history is not your destiny

    Dr. Kathy had AMH of 0.23, failed IUIs, miscarriage, and failed IVF that produced only one egg, yet conceived naturally at 37 and is now 34 weeks pregnant with her son.

    1:17
  • Statistics are information, not your personal story or destiny

    Kathy learned to view her low AMH and poor prognosis as information rather than her predetermined fate, allowing her to stay in her own lane and trust her unique journey.

    44:13
  • Lab numbers and fertility test results are just information, not verdicts on your fertility future

    Jennifer McAleer received an AMH of 0.05 (perimenopause levels) and was told IVF would be a waste of money, yet conceived naturally at 43 after taking control of her diet and mindset
