Is IVF Possible in Early Menopause?
For many women diagnosed with early menopause, this condition is not only a hormonal change but also a source of uncertainty about their dream of motherhood.
โWill I ever be able to become a mother?โ
โIs IVF an option for me?โ
These questions are frequently asked during this process.
๐ Early menopause (premature ovarian insufficiency) is the loss of normal ovarian function before the age of 40 and is not as rare as commonly believed.
In this condition, typically:
โช๏ธ Ovarian reserve decreases
โช๏ธ Estrogen levels decline while FSH levels rise
โช๏ธ Menstrual cycles become irregular or may stop completely
๐ However, early menopause does not always mean that the ovaries have completely stopped working.
๐ฑ Does ovulation stop completely?
No.
In some women, the ovaries may continue to function intermittently. Therefore, occasional egg development may occur, and spontaneous pregnancy can rarely happen.
๐งฌ Is IVF possible with oneโs own eggs?
This is entirely individualized.
If there are still a few follicles in the ovaries and hormone levels are not fully suppressed, IVF using oneโs own eggs may be attempted in selected patients.
โ ๏ธ However, success rates are low and the process requires patience.
๐ค IVF with donor eggs
In early menopause, the treatment option with the highest chance of pregnancy is IVF with donor eggs.
If the uterus is healthy, pregnancy can be carried with appropriate preparation.
โ ๏ธ The legal status of this treatment may vary from country to country.
โณ Why is early diagnosis important?
Early diagnosis allows timely pregnancy planning and the evaluation of different treatment options in suitable patients.
