Description:

In this episode of Fertile Talks, Dr. Yemi Famuyiwa breaks down one of the most common questions in fertility care: what does your AMH level really tell you? She explains why AMH is best understood as a measure of egg quantity—not egg quality—and why age and other factors are just as critical.

Dr. Famuyiwa also dives into the complex relationship between endometriosis and fertility. From its subtle microscopic effects on egg quality and sperm transport to its impact on fallopian tube function, she unpacks why endometriosis can lower live birth rates and complicate conception—even when AMH levels look reassuring.

Most importantly, she emphasizes that patients should not panic or rush straight to IVF. Instead, fertility treatment should be individualized, starting with less invasive options like timed intercourse or intrauterine insemination (IUI), and moving forward step by step as needed.

Whether you’re interpreting your first AMH test or navigating a diagnosis of endometriosis, this episode offers clarity, reassurance, and a practical roadmap for your next steps.
