How to take charge of your fertility—no matter what your numbers say
If you’ve been told your AMH is “too low”…
If your doctor said donor eggs are your only option…
If you feel like you’re running out of time…
Take a deep breath. This is not the end.Low AMH measures egg quantity—but it tells you nothing about your egg quality. And quality is what actually leads to pregnancy.
We’ve helped women with AMH as low as 0.01 conceive. And if you still have eggs, there is hope—because you can improve their quality.
This guide will explain what low AMH really means, debunk myths, and give you
an action plan so you can move forward feeling empowered and in control.
What Is AMH, and Why Does It Matter? (But Not in the Way You Think)
AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) is a blood test that estimates how many eggs you have left. That’s it.
What AMH DOES NOT tell you:
- Whether your eggs are healthy
- Whether you can get pregnant
- Whether your body is still capable of ovulating
Your doctor might have made it sound like your fertility is over, but here’s the truth:
- AMH is not a predictor of natural conception. Women with low AMH get pregnant all the time.
- Your body only needs ONE good egg. Not 10. Not 20. Just one healthy egg at the right time.
- Egg quality can be improved. You can’t make more eggs, but you can make the ones you have stronger and more resilient.
Doctors focus on AMH because it’s important for IVF success. IVF needs multiple eggs per cycle, so they want a high count. But if you’re trying naturally (or even with IVF), quality matters more than quantity.
What TCM Adds to the Picture
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, AMH is closely linked to what’s called Kidney Essence (Jing)—your deep reserves of reproductive energy. When this essence is low, fertility can decline, but it can also be nourished and supported with the right foods, herbs, and lifestyle shifts.
Think of your reproductive system like a garden:
- Western medicine focuses on how many seeds (eggs) you have left.
- TCM focuses on making the soil rich and fertile so those seeds have the best chance of growing strong.
Your fertility is not over, it’s time to focus on nourishing the eggs you do have.
How to Improve Egg Quality (Even with Low AMH)
Your eggs take about 90 days to mature before ovulation. That means what you do today impacts your eggs 3 months from now.
Here’s how to start improving your egg health immediately:
Step 1:Get the Full Picture—Not Just AMH
Doctors fixate on AMH, but it’s just one piece of the puzzle. You need to look at all your fertility markers.
Start Here - Ask Your Doctor for These Tests
- AMH - Review your egg quantity—but not quality!
- FSH & Estradiol - How hard your body is working to ovulate
- Progesterone - Crucial for implantation
- Thyroid Panel (TSH, T3, T4) - A sluggish thyroid can block pregnancy
- Vitamin D - Low levels can impact fertility
If your hormones are imbalanced, focusing on AMH alone won’t help, fixing those imbalances will.
Step 2:Improve Blood Flow to Your Ovaries
Eggs need oxygen, nutrients, and strong circulation to grow healthy. If blood flow is weak, egg quality suffers.
Start Here - Boost Circulation in 3 Simple Ways
- Move every day - Walk, stretch, do yoga—just don’t sit for hours!
- Eat warm, nutrient-rich foods - Bone broth, leafy greens, beets, black beans, warm herbal teas. Get our FREE fertility diet guide.
- Try acupuncture - A proven method to increase blood flow to reproductive organs.
No fancy treatments—just small shifts to support your body.
Step 3:Reduce Inflammation & Protect Your Eggs
Oxidative stress ages your eggs faster.
Inflammation blocks implantation.
Stress shuts down hormone production.
This is the part NO ONE tells you. Your lifestyle and diet directly impact your egg health.
Start Here - The “Egg Quality Diet”
- Antioxidants → Blueberries, pomegranates, dark chocolate
- Healthy Fats → Avocado, olive oil, salmon (for hormone support)
- Iron-Rich Foods → Grass-fed meats, eggs, beets (for blood circulation)
- Cut back on caffeine & alcohol → These spike cortisol (stress hormone), which can suppress fertility
- Avoid too many raw, cold foods— these weaken digestion and blood circulation
Food = Fertility Fuel. Choose foods that help your eggs grow stronger.
Step 4:Use a Targeted 90-Day Egg Quality Protocol
Your eggs rely on mitochondria (the "batteries" of your cells) to power up. If they don’t have enough energy, they can’t develop properly.
Start Here - The Core 4 Egg-Boosting Nutrients
Project Life’s 90-Day Protocol Includes:
- Western Supplements like CoQ10, Omega-3s, and Vitamin D3
- TCM Herbal Blends to support reproductive energy and balance hormones
- Lifestyle & Stress Management Support to optimize egg quality
Many women see hormone balance & improved cycles within 6-12 weeks of starting a targeted plan.
Step 5:Manage Stress (Because It Directly Affects Your Eggs)
Chronic stress = high cortisol, which can block ovulation and weaken eggs.
Start Here The 2-Minute Stress Reset
- Breathe: Try 4-7-8 breathing (inhale 4 sec, hold 7 sec, exhale 8 sec).
- Prioritize Sleep: Aim for 8-10 hours; your eggs regenerate at night.
- Reduce Overthinking: Set a 15-minute "worry window" per day—
then let it go.
Your body needs to feel safe to get pregnant. A calm body = better fertility.
Why Your AMH Level Alone Doesn’t Define Your Fertility
Many women with low AMH conceive naturally.
Research shows that AMH is not a strong predictor of natural conception—even in women over 40.
In Fact:
- Women with “undetectable” AMH (0.01) have conceived with the right support.
- Studies confirm that AMH doesn’t determine pregnancy success— only egg health does.
- You only need one good egg to get pregnant.
So what should you focus on instead?
Your full hormone panel.
AMH is just one number. Your FSH, estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid hormones give a more complete picture.
Your egg quality.
Unlike quantity, quality can be improved—and it’s the most important factor in conception.
Your whole-body health.
Good blood flow, hormone balance, and stress levels impact egg quality more than AMH ever will.
This is why fertility isn’t just about one number—it’s about creating the right conditions for your body to conceive.
Real Stories: Women Who Overcame Low AMH
After three years of trying, 12 different doctors, and countless failed treatments, I was told my infertility was ‘unexplained’. My AMH was low, and my hormone levels were all over the place. I dealt with chronic BV, UTIs, and painful periods, but my doctors dismissed it all. I found Project Life while preparing for surgery to remove a cyst, and after just four months on the herbs, my hormone levels completely transformed. My BV disappeared, my periods became pain-free, and when I finally did IVF, my egg quality was incredible. I went from doctors telling me I’d be 'lucky to get one embryo' to retrieving five perfect A-grade embryos. I truly don’t believe IVF would have worked for me without Project Life." - Dianna
I had been tracking my AMH for months, and every test showed bad news—low levels, poor ovulation, and thin uterine lining. After five weeks on Project Life, I went back to my fertility clinic, expecting nothing. Instead, my doctor looked at my results and said, 'This is not the same body.' My AMH increased from 0.1 to 1.0had stabilized, my lining was finally thick enough, and for the first time, my hormones were cycling exactly as they should. It was the first time I felt like I was in control of my fertility.” - Emily
At 44, I was told my AMH was too low, and that my only option was an egg donor. I refused to accept that. I started Project Life as a last-ditch effort before giving up. Within two months, my bloodwork showed something unbelievable—my AMH had increased from 0.2 to 0.9, and my egg quality improved dramatically. My doctor couldn’t explain it, but I knew what had changed. Two weeks later, I found out I was pregnant—naturally. At 44. My body just needed the right support." - Jennifer
But here’s the hopeful part:
Egg quality is not fixed. It can change—especially with the right support during your 90-day cycle.
Think of your eggs like seeds. You can’t plant new ones—but you can nourish the soil they grow in.
Your AMH Doesn’t Define You
