Are there any new medications on the horizons that might help us POFers?
There are no new medications that are appropriately considered ‘treatments’. There are a bunch of things that good scientists have now demonstrated to be worthless, and I would avoid wasting your time on them: estrogen (not for HRT which is a good reason to take it, but for the purpose of ‘reversing’ the POF), Lupron or Synarel, steroids, danocrine, high dose FSH…Unfortunately, in the search for what might work, all that’s getting turned up is what doesn’t work. The National Institutes of Health is in the process of doing clinical studies on women with POF. If you are interested in volunteering, you might be able to advance research in this area, but you will not have any guarantee that the latest thing being tried will work. You also may receive a placebo, in which case it would not be expected to improve your chances of ovulating or pregnancy at all.
