Beyond Statistics: Low AMH and Bridget's Pregnancy at 40

079. What happens when you are mentally preparing for the intensity of IVF, only for your body to surprise you? In this episode, Bridget shares her deeply personal journey of fertility in her late 30s and early 40s. From the shock of an unplanned pregnancy early in a relationship to the devastating experience of an ectopic pregnancy and subsequent losses, Bridget opens up about the emotional and physical toll of the TTC journey. We discuss the impact of low AMH, the reality of living with fibroids, and the difficult decision to undergo surgery to clear the path for a healthy pregnancy.

Bridget’s story is a powerful testament to the fact that "fertility statistics" don't always tell the whole story. She reflects on the moment she decided to lean into her faith, burned a "hope" candle, and found herself naturally pregnant at 40 despite being told her reserve was low. This conversation covers everything from managing high-risk pregnancy complications like a subchorionic hematoma to the life-saving reality of her scheduled C-section, offering hope to anyone who feels like they are running out of time.
