Premature Ovarian Failure (POF)

Premature ovarian failure (POF), also known as primary ovarian insufficiency, is a condition where the ovaries stop functioning normally before age 40. This results in diminished ovarian reserve and reduced fertility.

Some key points about POF:

What are the chances of getting pregnant with POF? - Spontaneous pregnancy can occasionally happen but chances are low, around 5-10%. Infertility treatments have <35% success rate on average. Using donor eggs boosts IVF success rate to 40-60% per transfer.

What foods or lifestyle changes help with POF? - Overall health habits to reduce inflammation and autoimmunity may help preserve ovarian function. Eating more antioxidants (berries, tea), omega-3s (fish, walnuts), and probiotic foods can support hormone balance and fertility. Reducing stress through yoga, meditation, acupuncture may also be beneficial.
