Our book

Why age and AMH are not as important as you think

Drawing on more than twenty years of clinical experience, together with the latest scientific research, including work to which the author has directly contributed, this book challenges the assumptions that shape modern fertility care.

  • Why are AMH reference ranges inflated, and how does this lead to widespread misunderstanding?
  • Why can a high AMH sometimes be a warning sign rather than a reassurance?
  • Why do so many women with PCOS remain undiagnosed?
  • Why is IVF sometimes recommended before the biology has been fully explored?
  • How does stress affect fertility in real physical ways?
  • And how does the growing availability of IVF clinics shape choices, expectations, and urgency?

Written in clear, easy-to-understand language, this book offers a new way of understanding fertility: not as a single number or fixed outcome, but as a living biological system shaped by hormones, timing, stress, and the wider body.

The body is like an orchestra: rather than focusing on one factor, it’s about how hormones, timing, and rhythm come together. Egg quality is the music of hormones.
