IVF gives patients a lot of numbers, but not always enough context to understand what those numbers actually mean.

In this episode of Beyond AMH, Dr. Marc Sklar is joined by fertility specialist and Gen 5 Fertility Center president Dr. Samuel Wood to look more closely at IVF protocols, age, AMH, embryo development, and what may be learned from an unsuccessful cycle.

They discuss why IVF treatment should be individualized, what AMH can and cannot tell you, why embryos may develop differently between day three and day five, and how much the laboratory and embryology team can influence an IVF outcome.

Dr. Wood also shares his work in ovarian rejuvenation and his perspective on where fertility science may be heading next.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why IVF protocols should be individualized and closely monitored

• What age and AMH really tell us about fertility

• Why two patients with similar numbers can have very different outcomes

• What IVF can and cannot overcome

• Day-three versus day-five embryos

• Why the IVF laboratory and embryology team matter

• What an unsuccessful cycle may teach you before trying again

• Ovarian rejuvenation and the future of fertility treatment
