Premature Ovarian Failure is the loss of a woman’s normal ovary function before the age of 40. This condition is a cause of infertility. For women wanting to have a baby, the best treatment for this medical condition is In Vitro Fertilization using donor eggs.Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Ovarian Reserve is a blood test used to determine a woman’s ovarian reserve. Ovarian reserve is the capability of a woman to produce eggs.

Testing for Premature Ovarian Failure

FSH is a hormone produced in a gland near the pituitary. FSH is the key hormone responsible for the cyclical development of eggs each month. FSH levels rise when a woman becomes less capable of producing an egg resulting in conception. FSH levels increase as a woman ages.Other measures of determining a woman’s ovarian reserve include:

• Clomid Challenge Test
• Levels of AMH
• Ovarian Volume Assessment
• Ovarian Volume measured via ultrasound
• Antral Follicle Count determined via ultrasound

Illinois Infertility Insurance Law

The Illinois law does not apply to self-insured employers, to trusts, or to insurance policies written outside of the state.The best way to determine if your medical insurance covers the cost of your ovarian failure treatment is to contact your insurer directly.
