I have pof and i really want a baby. what are my options?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Donor egg works best: With confirmed poi - primary ovarian insufficiency - you need tests to make sure it's safe to get pregnant: turner syndrome or adrenal gland issues. Women with poi have a 5-10% chance of getting pregnant naturally. Best options for fertility are egg donation (75-80% + success), embryo donation (40%) or adoption. Fertility treatments with your own eggs don't work well; research studies continue.
