Biological versus chronological ovarian age: implications for assisted reproductive technology

BACKGROUND Women have been able to delay childbearing since effective contraception became available in the 1960s. However, fertility decreases with increasing maternal age. A slow but steady decrease in fertility is observed in women aged between 30 and 35 years, which is followed by an accelerated decline among women aged over 35 years. A combination of delayed childbearing and reduced fecund...

Premature ovarian failure in women with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).

OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of longstanding juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) on menstrual irregularity and the incidence of premature ovarian failure in women. METHODS Women with longstanding JIA who had abnormal or absent menstrual cycles had their circulating levels of gonadotrophins measured to check for the presence of ovarian failure. Disease demographics and subsets, function, ag...
