Antibodies formed against the ovaries. Such antibodies would bind to important functional sites in the ovary and granulosa cells and impair the normal response. The antiovarian antibodies were found fairly recently, and their complete function is not well known yet. It is believed that these antibodies cause disturbances that are a cause of ovarian failure/non-ovulation or poor ovulation. They are believed also to be a cause of less-than-expected response to various medication to stimulate proper ovarian function, and possibly even formation of less-than-excellent and normal eggs/ova/oocytes. The treatment of this condition is more or less experimental. Frequently this condition can be helped through in vitro fertilization and if everything else fails an egg/ovum/oocyte phonation from a fertile donor. When such a pregnancy is properly supported by administration of exogenous hormones – progesterone and sometimes even estrogen – it has an excellent chance to lead to normal delivery.
