Sarah Clark 561 Episodes Jun 29, 2026

Get Pregnant Naturally is a podcast for women and couples facing fertility challenges such as low AMH, high FSH, failed IVF, miscarriage, premature ovarian insufficiency, diminished ovarian reserve, or a donor egg recommendation. Hosted by Sarah Clark, founder of Fab Fertile and author of Fabulously Fertile, the show offers a functional fertility second opinion. Each episode explores lab work often overlooked by clinics, including gut microbiome, food sensitivity, vaginal microbiome, nutrigenomics, HTMA, DUTCH, full thyroid panel, iron panel, and inflammation markers, alongside nervous system work. The podcast aims to provide comprehensive insights from over a decade of cases, working alongside medical teams rather than replacing them.

Told It Was Unexplained? 9 Tests Your Miscarriage Workup Skipped Jun 22, 2026 18:45 You were told to try again. Maybe you were told it was bad luck, or to wait until it happened a third time before anyone would look. Here is what changed this year. In 2026, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine updated its definition of recurrent pregnancy loss for the first time since 2012.

Multiple Failed IVF And Told Donor Eggs? The System Your Clinic Never Looked At Jun 8, 2026 12:13 You have done IVF more than once. Maybe twice. Maybe three times. Maybe more. Each cycle they tweaked the protocol. Higher dose. Lower dose. Different stimulation drug. Different trigger. Added growth hormone. Added DHEA. Mini IVF. Dual stim. Each cycle the protocol changed. And now they are telling you donor eggs. Here is the question this episode is about. They changed the protocol every time. D

Whether waiting six months means missing your window. Whether trying with your own eggs one more time is brave or stupid. The honest answer is longer than your clinic implied. And the window is not your AMH number. In this episode: - Why a 2024 study in Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics found that o
Told Donor Eggs After Failed IVF? The Gut Pattern Your Clinic Did Not Test May 25, 2026 12:44 Told donor eggs after failed IVF? There is a category of testing that your fertility clinic does not run. We rarely run a stool test and find nothing. The IVF cycle did not work. Maybe it was poor response. Maybe it was canceled before retrieval. Maybe you got embryos and they arrested. Maybe the transfer failed. Your clinic looked at your numbers and told you donor eggs. In this episode, Sarah Cl
The Workup Most REIs Skip Before Recommending Donor Eggs May 18, 2026 12:35 The donor egg recommendation rarely comes after a complete workup. It comes after AMH, FSH, and an antral follicle count. That is usually where the investigation stops. In this episode, Sarah Clark walks through what is missing from the workup before women are told donor eggs are their only path: the full thyroid panel, not just TSH. Stool DNA testing for H. pylori, parasites, and food sensitivi

Why Iron Could Be Behind Your Low AMH, Failed IVF and Miscarriage May 4, 2026 37:47 Most women with low AMH and high FSH get one of two answers about their iron: "it's fine," or "it's low, here's a supplement." Both leave the real problem untouched. Failed transfers, failed IVF cycles, miscarriage, irregular cycles, exhaustion that won't lift, and nobody asking why the iron is low in the first place. This episode shows you what the full iron panel actually reveals. In this epis
Told Donor Eggs Were Your Only Option? Sarah's POI Story and What Her REI Never Tested For Apr 27, 2026 47:27 Sarah Clark was told donor eggs were her only option. No second opinion. No workup. Just an IVF brochure pulled off the shelf. This is the story of what was actually going on, and what nobody looked for. At 28, Sarah was diagnosed with premature ovarian failure (now called premature ovarian insufficiency). Her OB/GYN handed her an IVF brochure during the appointment. She went to the REI, got on
Why "Normal" Labs Aren't Optimized for Fertility | TSH, Ferritin, Glucose & IVF Failure Apr 20, 2026 10:49 Your TSH is "normal." Your ferritin is "normal." Your glucose is "normal." And IVF still isn't working. Here's why normal lab ranges were never built for fertility and what optimal actually looks like. Most reference ranges are designed to flag disease in the general population, not to optimize egg quality, embryo competence, or implantation. That gap is where a lot of unexplained IVF failure, emb
