Ovarian hypofunction is the reduced function of ovaries cauasing a decrease in production of hormones. Women with ovarian hypofunction may experience symptoms of menopause and makes it difficult for a woman to get pregnant.
Doctors use estrogen therapy which provides relief in menstrual symptoms and prevents bone loss. But this therapy does not increase your chance of becoming pregnant. A study shows that 1 in 10 women with ovarian hypofunction will be able to get pregnant. The chance of successfully getting pregnant increases to 50% when using a fertilized donor egg (an egg from another woman).
