Failed IVF. Low AMH. Recurrent pregnancy loss. Embryos that stop developing. Recommended donor eggs.

Before you accept that answer, make sure you’ve ruled out what may have been overlooked.

Our What Your Fertility Clinic Missed guide covers the testing we review to help identify hidden barriers that can affect fertility.

If your clinic is recommending donor eggs, the real question is whether that was a diagnosis or a limited workup.

Most of the time the recommendation comes after a handful of lab values, not a full investigation into what is actually affecting egg quality and ovarian function.

You already sensed something was skipped. You are reading it right.

This week’s episode walks through the 11 areas we most commonly see overlooked before donor eggs, so you know exactly what to ask before one of the biggest decisions you will make.

Failed IVF. Told donor eggs. But no one looked deeper.

Before accepting donor eggs, ask yourself: has anyone evaluated your thyroid, inflammation markers, iron status, gut health, vaginal microbiome, s***m DNA fragmentation, or your partner’s health?

Too often, the recommendation for donor eggs comes before a thorough investigation of the factors that can impact egg quality, embryo development, implantation, and pregnancy success.

In this episode, we discuss:
✨ Why failed IVF cycles deserve a full review
✨ The hidden fertility clues often missed in standard care
✨ Why partner health matters more than many couples realize
✨ The role of thyroid function, inflammation, iron, and gut health
✨ Questions to ask before moving to donor eggs

If you’ve experienced failed IVF, embryo arrest, poor embryo quality, implantation failure, low AMH, or recurrent pregnancy loss, this episode is for you.

You’ve been told donor eggs are your “best option.”

But what if the issue isn’t just your ovaries?

In this episode, we explore how skin symptoms like acne, eczema, rosacea, rashes, and chronic inflammation can connect back to the gut microbiome and impact fertility, egg quality, implantation, and IVF outcomes.

We also discuss why digestion matters more than most people realize when you’re TTC, and the key gut and immune patterns to investigate before accepting donor eggs as your only path forward.

If you’ve been dismissed with “unexplained infertility,” low AMH, recurrent implantation failure, or poor embryo quality, this episode is for you.

You’ve been told donor eggs are your best or only option.
But before making that decision, have you fully looked at the gut microbiome?

In this week’s episode of Get Pregnant Naturally, we explore why recurrent implantation failure, miscarriage, abnormal embryos, inflammation, immune dysfunction, and “unexplained” IVF outcomes may have more to do with the gut than most people realize.

We discuss:
• The gut-immune-fertility connection
• Hidden gut infections and inflammation patterns
• How the microbiome may impact egg quality and implantation
• Why repeating IVF without deeper investigation can keep couples stuck
• What to review before moving to donor eggs

If you’ve been told your age, AMH, or egg quality is the problem, but you feel like something is being missed, this episode will give you another lens to consider.

AMH 0.04 ng/mL. Told donor eggs were her only option. Nobody asked what was actually driving the number.

When I was 28, the same thing happened to me.

AMH measures how many follicles are being recruited right now. It is a snapshot. Not a verdict. It can be suppressed by thyroid dysfunction, gut imbalances, nutrient gaps, stress physiology, and environmental load. Things that have nothing to do with your egg supply.

Most fertility clinics do not look at any of that before recommending donor eggs.

This week on Get Pregnant Naturally, I discuss Rebecca’s case. She was 27. Her AMH was 0.04 ng/mL. She had been told donor eggs. Here is what nobody asked her before that recommendation, and what she did next.

If you have been told donor eggs are your only option and you are not sure that is the full picture, you are not alone.

She was 27. AMH 0.04. POI diagnosis. Donor eggs recommended as her only option.

She got pregnant naturally with her own eggs.

The eczema, the migraines, the asthma. None of those were separate from her fertility picture. They were the same picture.

This week on Get Pregnant Naturally we walk through what a complete workup looks like before donor eggs.

Save this for when you review your labs.

Her REI ran TSH. It came back at 3. They called it normal.
TSH alone is not a thyroid panel.

A full workup needs Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, TPO antibodies, TG antibodies. Her clinic ran one of those tests. We ran all of them.

We also found H pylori in her gut. Gluten exposure she did not know about. And her husband’s bloodwork had 4 red flags nobody had caught.

18 months later she conceived naturally with her own eggs at 43.
