The hardships, emotional, mental and physical trauma one goesthrough in both the situations is immeasurable. One of the causes of infertility could beEarly Ovarian Ageing (EOA). Let us evaluate the causes, diagnosis and treatmentto achieve pregnancy despite having EOA. Common causes of EOA
:• Endometriosis
•Previous Ovarian/Tubal surgeries
•Autoimmune disorders

•Sometimes without any cause- idiopathic Diagnosis of EOA: Hormone test and aultrasound scan immediately after the onset of periods to check antral folliclecount.
Treatment:Women with EOA can be treated by increasing the quality of the remainingfollicles using supplements like Dhea, Zinc, melatonin, antioxidants likecoenzyme Q, vitamin E, L- Leucine, lycopene, selenium etc. Patients canconceive with ART like IUI/IVF. But the success of these treatments depends on the qualityand quantity of eggs. Women should get their ovarian reserve test to takenecessary precautions like freezing their eggs at an early age, which can laterbe used and plan accordingly. One of the available options for women with EOAis to use donor eggs. An IVF cycle can be done with eggs from an anonymous donor and thehusband’s sperms. This is only done if the couple give their fullyknowledgeable consent. Some couples may even decide to go for an IVF with a donor embryo – where the eggs and the sperms are bothtaken from anonymous donors.
