Dr. Natalie Crawford dives deep into ovarian failure, perimenopause, and hormones. We explore how ovarian function can cease at any age, even before puberty, and discuss the natural decline in ovarian reserve as women age. She highlights the significance of estrogen, its role in overall health, and how its decline impacts women during menopause. Dr. Crawford also covers essential tests like AMH and antral follicle count, providing insights into a woman's egg supply and reproductive potential. Natalie answers your questions in FFS-For Fertility's Sake How can I increase my chances of getting pregnant if I am in early menopause? I don't have periods and was told I have hypothalamic amenorrhea but no testing was done. Should I ask for more tests? Can I still get pregnant with low hormones?
