Diminished Ovarian Reserve (DOR): What AMH Really Means + Your Options and How to Stay Grounded
In this Her Fertility podcast episode, I break down diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), what the AMH test measures (egg quantity, not egg quality), and why a DOR diagnosis can feel shocking when you’re trying to get pregnant because there are no symptoms beyond infertility.
I explain how AMH is a point-in-time estimate, why urgency can show up, and how a dysregulated nervous system can affect decision-making.
I walk through five options after a DOR diagnosis:
1. trying naturally (with cycle/ovulation tracking)
2. IUI
3. IVF
4. egg retrieval and freezing
5. donor eggs
I also answer TikTok questions about waiting “too long,” not being ready for IVF, choosing the right clinic/protocol, talking with your partner, and making decisions without fear, and I share nervous-system grounding practices.
