[Diagnosis of ovarian insufficiency: clinical and analytic laboratory procedures]

The diagnostic procedure in ovarian insufficiency includes a subtle anamnesis of the patients history, general clinical examination, investigation of the cylically dependent factors (e.g. cervical mucus), ovarian sonography and analysis of the relevant hormonal parameters. For the exact interpretation of hormone values it is essential to relate on biologically proven normal values which can best be obtained in spontaneous conception cycles.
