Treatment Options for Primary Ovarian Insufficiency

Fertility Treatment and Birth Control

Fertility treatment is recommended for everyone that has primary ovarian insufficiency. Although, about 5 percent of people suffering from this condition can conceive. And there is no way to find out who can or cannot get pregnant.

The best option for people who want to conceive but cannot is IVF with donor eggs. Your doctor will recommend hormones to prepare you for pregnancy. The process involves fertilizing one or more donor eggs with sperm in the laboratory, then placing it in your uterus. You can also free some of these eggs if you want to try again later.

The success rate depends on the person’s age, health, and other factors. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) [5] offers an IVF Success Estimator. This device allows you to input specific data about your health history and plan, giving you a rough estimate of the success IVF may be for you. Your doctor may refer you to a fertility expert for a second opinion if necessary.
