Get Pregnant Naturally with POI / POF & Your Own Eggs
If you’ve been told you have primary ovarian insufficiency (POI), also known as premature ovarian failure (POF), it’s natural to feel like your fertility journey is suddenly out of your hands. But the science—and the stories of countless of women—show that hope is far from lost. Wondering if it’s possible to get pregnant naturally with POI, using your own eggs? Here’s what every woman navigating ovarian challenges needs to know about pursuing natural conception before exploring the option of donor eggs.
Dreaming of extending the family with your own eggs?
Although there are no guarantees, we know it’s possible for many women to get pregnant naturally despite POI / POF diagnosis.
Despite what you have been told.
Remember, you decide to whom you listen.
What Are POI and POF?
Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) and Premature Ovarian Failure (POF) both describe when ovaries lose normal function before age 40, resulting in irregular or absent periods and lower fertility.
Unlike menopause, POI/POF doesn’t always mean the ovaries have stopped working entirely. Many women still ovulate—sometimes unpredictably—and spontaneous pregnancies can, and do, happen.
Donor Eggs: When and Why?
Receiving the diagnosis of POI/POF often comes with a quick referral for donor eggs. While donor egg IVF is the most established route when ovarian reserve is low or absent, it isn’t the only story—and it’s not the only place to begin. If your dream is to get pregnant naturally with your own eggs, there’s a scientifically credible window for hope, especially within the first few years post-diagnosis and if there is still intermittent ovarian activity.
Changing your childrens DNA is a major decision, so if you feel uncomfortable with that - We get you. Don’t give up on your dream until it’s really needed.
Can You Get Pregnant Naturally with POI/POF and Your Own Eggs?
Yes, statistics say it’s rare—yet real, so let’s increase your chances.
Studies show that up to 5–10% of women with POI can conceive spontaneously with their own eggs. That’s not a guarantee, but it is hope grounded in science.
Occasional Ovulation: Even after diagnosis, ovaries may release eggs sporadically.
Lifestyle & Medical Advances: Research reveals that certain strategies can improve ovarian function and the uterine environment, to get the ovulation - and thereby the chances of natural pregnancy - back on track.
We help you optimize your chances of concieving naturally with your own eggs.
