Why is your ovarian reserve low—and does a low AMH really mean poor fertility outcomes?

Dr. Natalie Crawford, board-certified OB-GYN and Reproductive Endocrinologist, explains why a low ovarian reserve diagnosis should always prompt a deeper question: why is this happening? She breaks down the difference between egg quantity and egg quality, and why age alone doesn’t tell the full story—especially for younger patients diagnosed with low AMH or diminished ovarian reserve (DOR).


You’ll learn:
What AMH and ovarian reserve actually measure (and what they don’t)
Why low AMH doesn’t automatically mean poor egg quality
How age affects genetic normalcy—but not metabolic competency
Conditions that can lower ovarian reserve and impair egg function
The role of inflammation, insulin resistance, and mitochondrial health
Why lifestyle factors matter more when egg quantity is limited
What testing fertility specialists consider in young patients with low AMH
Which factors you can control—and where treatment decisions should be individualized

If you’ve been told your ovarian reserve is low and left with more fear than answers, this conversation will help you understand what’s happening in your body, what matters most for egg quality, and how to approach next steps with clarity and confidence.
