Can I be a mother if I have hypergonadotropic hypogonadism?

By José Carlos Mora Palma M.D. (gynaecologist).
Last Update: 10/24/2023

The causes of hypergonadotropic hypogonadism are multiple and give rise to an alteration in ovarian function, conditioning fertility.

In general terms, we can state that the possibility of gestation will be determined by whether or not there is an ovarian follicular endowment and the integrity of the uterine factor. If both criteria are met, gestation would be possible through spontaneous gestation or Assisted Reproduction techniques (artificial insemination, in vitro fertilisation or gamete or embryo donation).

On the other hand, if there is no follicular endowment and uterine integrity is maintained, gestation through gamete or embryo donation would be possible.

It is important to underline that in cases where hypergonadotropic hypogonadism is associated with a genetic syndrome, Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis is recommended in cases of in vitro fertilisation.
