POI vs. Early Menopause: What’s the Difference, and Why It Matters for Fertility

POI (Primary Ovarian Insufficiency) and early menopause are often confused, but they are not the same—and the difference matters greatly for fertility. POI occurs when ovarian function becomes irregular or impaired before age 40, yet ovulation and periods may still happen occasionally. This means natural conception can still be possible, though unpredictable. Early menopause, on the other hand, involves the permanent loss of ovarian function before age 45, with no remaining egg activity. Understanding this distinction helps guide testing, treatment options, and emotional expectations. An accurate diagnosis can influence fertility planning, IVF strategies, hormone support, and decisions about egg or embryo preservation. POI vs. Early Menopause: What’s the Difference, and Why It Matters for Fertility Understanding the difference between POI and early menopause is essential when you want clarity on your fertility. A diagnosis alone does not tell the whole story. In this episode, we explore what your hormones, labs, and symptoms are showing you and how functional testing helps identify what may still be possible. You will learn how AMH, FSH, estradiol, thyroid markers, inflammation, gut health, and the nervous system influence ovarian signaling. You will also hear how functional nutrition, mineral balance, mitochondrial support, and personalized testing help guide next steps for women with low AMH, high FSH, irregular cycles, and early ovarian aging. If you want a deeper understanding of your fertility, this episode will help you see your health through a completer and more informed lens. 👇 If you’re ready to move beyond guessing, email hello@fabfertile.ca with the subject line FERTILE to learn more about working together.
