Q: Pof And Ivf??? Please Help!!

Hi I am 26 yrs old and was diagnosed with pre-mature ovarian failure @ 18 yrs of age. I am now undergoing ivf my 4th transfer was may 16th and it was positive but ended up to be a m/c. I was wondering if we need estrogen in our body while we are pregnant until the placenta forms?

My clinic seem to think the embryo produces the estrogen and I have a very hard time beleiving that. Please help! I was on progesterone for a while until I lost the baby but I need to know if we need estrogen because woman with pof do not produce their own! Thank you for your reply!

Pof & Ivf

I am just now reading your post ~ I have pof and had twins through egg donor ivf. And yes - you must have estrogen with your pregnancy until the placenta kicks in around 12 weeks. It is necessary since your body either doesn't produce any or very little.

I was on oral estrogen that was slowly weaned from me and monitored 2x weekly through blood tests.

I would seriously talk to your dr about this. Good luck!
