That Time of the Month: Premature Ovarian Insufficiency

That Time of the Month with Naga Munchetty, Dr Nighat Arif and Dr Christine Ekechi

Naga and the doctors are joined by Bethany Harrold from The Daisy Network charity to discuss premature ovarian insufficiency or POI. It’s when a woman’s ovaries stop working properly and they aren’t able to consistently release eggs or make the hormones estrogen and progesterone. It affects around 4% of women under the age of 40. They're also joined by 5 Live listeners who share their experiences and ask questions.

This episode was first broadcast on BBC 5 Live on 28 July 2026.
