Low AMH? Diminished ovarian reserve or POI? Failed IVF or told donor eggs are your only option? Book a free Functional Fertility Second Opinion before your next fertility decision → fabfertile.com
You've been told your AMH is too low. Your FSH is too high. Your IVF cycle didn't work.
And now donor eggs are being recommended.
Maybe donor eggs are the right next step for you. But before making that decision, have you been given the full picture of what's happening with your fertility?
Was the recommendation based mainly on your AMH and FSH? Has anyone reviewed what happened during your IVF cycles, including follicle response, fertilization, and embryo development?
And has anyone looked beyond your ovaries?
Donor eggs can be a wonderful path to parenthood. This isn't about ruling them out. It's about understanding your options and making a decision with fewer unanswered questions.
In this episode:
-
Why low AMH and high FSH don't tell the whole story about your fertility
-
What to ask when donor eggs are recommended after failed IVF
-
Why your previous IVF response, fertilization, and embryo development matter
-
Why the male partner needs to be investigated beyond a normal semen analysis, including sperm DNA fragmentation
-
What may still be worth reviewing, including thyroid and autoimmune patterns, metabolic health, inflammation, gut health and the nervous system
-
How to determine whether further investigation could meaningfully inform your next fertility decision
-
Why being informed about donor eggs doesn't mean you have to decide immediately
You may ultimately choose donor eggs. Or you may decide there are still questions worth exploring with your fertility team.
Either way, you deserve to understand why a particular path is being recommended.
FUNCTIONAL FERTILITY SECOND OPINION
Book with your partner and upload your labs and testing into our secure portal before the call. If you've done testing in the last three months, we won't automatically ask you to repeat it.
We review what you already have, your fertility history, previous IVF response and the health of both partners to identify questions that may not have been explored and discuss potential next steps.
