What to Do If You Have a Low AMH: Expert Advice from Fertility Specialist Dr Sam Dobson

I talk about what to do if you receive a fertility report indicating a low AMH, defined as less than sevenpmol/L or less than one ng/ml. I explain that AMH is a marker of ovarian reserve, reflecting egg quantity but not quality, which is more linked to age and lifestyle. I emphasize that a low AMH at a young age is less concerning for conception, but it may require more strategic timing. I discuss next steps like combining AMH with an antral follicle count, considering your goals for conception or preservation, and optimizing lifestyle factors to support egg quality. I reassure you not to panic, as many patients with low AMH conceive naturally or with treatment, and I encourage you to seek specialist advice.

IVF Providers: Independent Clinic vs. Corporate Company – Which Is Right for You?

We talk about the differences between large corporate IVF companies and independent doctor-run clinics, highlighting factors like personalized care, consistency, cost, and treatment flexibility to help you choose the right provider for your IVF journey.

Understanding Antiphospholipid Syndrome and Sticky Blood in Recurrent Miscarriage…. I talk about antiphospholipid syndrome, also known as sticky blood, and its link to recurrent miscarriage. I explain the importance of blood tests for lupus anticoagulant, the need for repeat testing, and how treatment with aspirin and low molecular weight heparin can reduce miscarriage risk by preventing blood clots behind the placenta.

Ovulation Induction for Premature Ovarian Insufficiency: A Home-Based Approach

I discuss premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and how we help patients achieve natural ovulation through home-based ovulation induction. We talk about suppressing FSH levels with hormones, followed by low-dose FSH stimulation to encourage egg growth and release. I share a patient success story of someone who hadn’t menstruated for 12 months but is now ovulating again after treatment, giving her a chance at natural conception without the cost and risk of full IVF cycles.

Progesterone-Only Treatment for Menopause: What Does the Evidence Show?

We discuss whether progesterone alone is an effective treatment for menopause symptoms. We review a large 2020 systematic study covering 40 years of research and find that micronized progesterone can help with hot flushes and sleep, but transdermal progesterone shows no improvement in symptoms. We also highlight that progesterone doesn’t improve mood symptoms and that one in five patients stop treatment due to side effects like headaches, irritability, and skin issues. We emphasize that estrogen should be the first-line treatment for menopause, with progesterone-only considered only when estrogen cannot be given.

Excision vs Ablation: Why Complete Endometriosis Removal Matters

I discuss how many surgeons treat endometriosis incorrectly using ablation, which only burns the surface, versus excision, which removes the disease at its root. I demonstrate my robotic-assisted excision surgery technique, showing how the butterfly excision pattern addresses deep infiltrating and superficial endometriosis while preserving surrounding nerves and structures. With robotic surgery’s precision, three-dimensional visualization, and wristed movements, we can safely operate in delicate pelvic areas and significantly reduce recurrence rates. I emphasize that patients deserve complete removal, not temporary fixes, and encourage those told ablation is their only option to seek a specialist trained in excision.

Understanding Miscarriage Management Options: Surgical Management of Miscarriage

We discuss the three main options for managing a miscarriage: conservative management, medication, and surgical procedures.

I focus on Surgical management, explaining how surgical management works, including manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) in an outpatient setting and surgical procedures under sedation or general anesthetic. We cover what to expect during and after the procedure, including recovery time, potential complications to watch for, and available support resources.

Understanding Asherman Syndrome: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

I discuss Asherman syndrome, an acquired condition where scar tissue forms inside the womb and can affect fertility and pregnancy. I explain how it develops following procedures like miscarriage management or placental removal, describe symptoms including light periods and pelvic pain, and outline diagnostic methods such as ultrasound, saline infusion sonogram, and hysteroscopy. I also cover treatment options involving adhesion removal and endometrial restoration, noting that many women go on to have healthy pregnancies after successful treatment.

Understanding Adenomyosis: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment Options. I discuss adenomyosis, a condition often called the cousin of endometriosis, where endometrial tissue grows into the muscular wall of the uterus. We talk about the symptoms including heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, and bloating, how it differs from endometriosis, diagnostic methods like ultrasound and MRI, and various treatment options ranging from hormonal coils and birth control to hysterectomy. I also address how adenomyosis affects fertility and the treatment protocols available for those seeking pregnancy through IVF.

Understanding Ovulation Induction: A First Step in Fertility Treatment

We explain what ovulation induction is and how it works as a common first step in the fertility journey.

We discuss how medications like Clomid and Letrozole stimulate the ovaries to develop and release eggs, particularly for those with irregular ovulation or conditions like PCOS.

We cover the process of ultrasound monitoring to track follicle development, the use of trigger shots to time egg release, and how ovulation induction increases the chances of conception by ensuring an egg is available when s***m arrives.

We emphasize that treatment is personalized based on individual needs.
