It seems likely that early menopause occurs for women with low populations at birth, and late menopause occurs for women with high populations at birth, but there is as yet no clinical evidence for this. [4] The process by which primordial cells 'wake up' is known as initial recruitment.
At age 45, a woman starting to try to conceive will have no live birth in 50–80 percent of cases. [2] Menopause, or the cessation of menstrual periods, generally occurs in the 40s and 50s and marks the cessation of fertility, although age-related infertility can occur before then. [3]
The ovaries will likely appear smaller than normal. [medical citation needed] The age of onset can be as early as 11 years. [17] POI can be seen as part of a continuum of changes leading to menopause [7] that differ from age-appropriate menopause in the age of onset, degree of symptoms, and sporadic return to normal ovarian function.

Gynecologists explain what happens during the follicular phase and luteal phase of a menstrual cycle and what causes irregular periods.
This decline is tied to a decline in the number of ovarian follicles. Although about 1 million oocytes are present at birth in the human ovary, only about 500 (about 0.05%) of these ovulate, and the rest do not ovulate. The decline in ovarian reserve appears to occur at a constantly increasing rate with age, [17] and leads to nearly complete ...
Natural decline of ovarian reserve due to age. [8] Idiopathic. Genetic factors, such as fragile x syndrome. Approximately 20–28% of women with an FMR1 premutation (55–200 CGG repeats) experience fragile x primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) and another 23% experience early menopause (i.e., menopause before the age of forty five). [9]
Menstrual cycle The menstrual cycle is a series of natural changes in hormone production and the structures of the uterus and ovaries of the female reproductive system that makes pregnancy possible. The ovarian cycle controls the production and release of eggs and the cyclic release of estrogen and progesterone. The uterine cycle governs the preparation and maintenance of the lining of the ...
Breaking through the noise. Most women going through menopause now grew up in an era when the condition was still considered “rare,” and the signs and symptoms might have been brushed off as ...
