Being told you have Diminished Ovarian Reserve (DOR) can feel like a door closing. But at Life IVF Center, we know it’s not the end of your fertility story. It’s often just the beginning of a more thoughtful, more personalized one.
We’ve helped thousands of patients with DOR, low AMH, or poor ovarian response find realistic paths forward. Many of them were previously turned away or discouraged by other clinics. Here’s how our approach is different and why it can work for you.
We Don’t Use One-Size-Fits-All Protocols
DOR patients don’t benefit from high-dose stimulation alone. In fact, aggressive IVF protocols can raise costs, reduce efficiency, and put additional cycles out of reach. At Life IVF, we don’t rely on volume or fixed medication plans. Instead, we:
- Assess your complete fertility picture: AMH, FSH, AFC, prior response
- Build individualized protocols based on what your body actually needs
- Prioritize egg quality and cycle optimization, not just quantity
This tailored approach gives every egg a better chance. And every patient too.
We Have Unmatched Experience with Natural and Minimal Stimulation IVF
Natural Cycle IVF and Minimal Stimulation IVF are not shortcuts. They are precision-driven strategies designed to support patients with DOR or poor response to traditional protocols. Both approaches fall under our trademarked Precision IVF® suite of services, which means we tailor every cycle to how your body presents.
These methods allow us to:
- Collect higher-quality eggs without overwhelming your ovaries
- Cycle more frequently and affordably to bank embryos over time
- Reduce medication burden and lower overall cost
Instead of pushing for high egg counts, we focus on quality and cumulative success. When low egg yield is expected, costly ‘all-inclusive’ packages that are the only offerings at many centers just don’t make sense. Many of our DOR patients have succeeded using this approach and even those with AMH levels near zero.
We’re Compassionately Realistic
We won’t overpromise. We’ll tell you what your numbers mean, how they compare, and what’s realistically possible. But we’ll also tell you what many other clinics won’t: you still deserve a chance to try.
Many of our patients conceive with:
- One or two embryos banked over multiple cycles
- Modified natural cycles that avoid overstimulation
- Smart planning, close monitoring, and careful lab coordination
We don’t inflate expectations. But we don’t take away hope either. Our job is to help you make informed, empowered decisions about your care, even when the numbers are tough.
We Understand That Time Matters
When you have DOR, there’s no time to waste. Whether due to age, hormone levels, or prior failed cycles, you need a plan that moves quickly and adapts with you. We offer:
- Fast, streamlined cycle planning and scheduling
- Protocols that can be adjusted or repeated easily
- Support for travel patients who want to begin right away
We are located minutes from John Wayne Airport (SNA) in Orange County, with direct flights from dozens of cities. Our Arcadia office is close to Burbank Airport (BUR), offering similar nonstop options for travel patients across the country.
Our Lab and Team Are Built for DOR Success
Even when there are only one or two eggs retrieved, what happens in the lab matters. Our embryologists specialize in low-yield IVF cycles. Every retrieval, fertilization, and embryo culture is performed with extreme care.
Our team includes:
- Reproductive endocrinologists with extensive DOR experience
- Embryologists trained in handling small cohort cycles
- Coordinators who know how to streamline and support multi-cycle plans
We don’t just accept patients with low AMH or FSH. We welcome them, prioritize them, and equip them with tools and expertise designed for their success.
We Regularly Help Patients Who Have Failed Elsewhere
We have had the privilege to work with patients who have had multiple failed IVF cycles with other clinics and still have the strength to keep going. Many were told they had no chance. At Life IVF, we listen, evaluate, and build new plans based on what was missing before.
Our approach includes:
- Detailed review of all prior protocols and lab data
- Selection of gentler or more targeted stimulation strategies
- Consideration of embryo banking when appropriate
You’ve already invested time, money, and hope. We’ll help you make it count.
Start with a Plan That Fits You
If your AMH is low. If other clinics have discouraged you. If you’re older and still hoping. You still have options. Our team at Life IVF Center will give you honest guidance, a carefully tailored cycle plan, and a real chance to try.
