How To Increase Pregnancy Success In The 40's With Low AMH/High FSH

Monkia Friedman joins us this week as we’re digging into how to improve the chances of conception in your 40’s with low AMH/High FSH.

If you are reading this right now you are ready to get pregnant and have your baby.

If you were anything like me when I was going through infertility you are planning your next steps.

But what if what you’ve been told about low anti-muellarian hormone (AMH) or follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and age is wrong?

Today we are debunking the top 3 myths about AMH/FSH and getting pregnant in our 40’s.

I’m excited to welcome Monika Friedman to the podcast. Monika is part of my team here at Fab Fertile. She is one of our Fertility Coaches and an integral part of our Couples Coaching program - which uses functional lab testing, diet, and lifestyle changes to dramatically improve conception.

If you are struggling with infertility...your body is desperately trying to tell you something...focusing on your health will either help you get pregnant naturally or if you do need to go to the fertility clinic it will improve your chances of success.

Monika is a Fertility Coach helping professional women increase their chances of getting pregnant with less anxiety and more joy along the way. She is a 4-time IVF warrior, a yoga teacher, and a working mom with an MBA and 15 years of corporate experience under her belt.
