Early menopause and IVF : What do I need to know?

Premature menopause is also known as premature ovarian insufficiency, it is diagnosed in women whose periods stop permanently before their 40s. After menopause, the fertility hormones such as estrogen and progesterone become lower. Many women nowadays experience a permanent stop in their menstrual cycle between ages 48 to 55. This can have adverse effects such as heart attacks, stroke and osteoporosis.

Absolutely not, IVF being a reason for early menopause is a long going myth. Since fertility medications stimulate the ovaries to mature and release 10 to 15 eggs, which may lead to “running out of eggs” : is the theory behind the myth. However, this is just a rumor.

Yes, certainly with the advancement and modern developments in IVF, women after menopause can still conceive a baby. The woman needs to use a donor egg but it’ll allow them to carry and deliver a healthy baby. If you are showing signs of early menopause, it is highly advised to consult an IVF specialist who can start the IVF procedure for conceiving a baby. You can register for IVF with donor eggs under your IVF specialist where they can go through your needs and then suggest an appropriate donor. The donor can be a known donor such as a sister or a friend or even an unknown donor from the egg donation. This holds a high success rate compared to other IVF treatments.
