Due to advances in fertility preservation options and improvements in life expectancy, there is growing need for fertility preservation counseling for women at risk for premature ovarian insufficiency. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of various causes of female fertility loss and to raise awareness for counseling women about their options for fertility preservation. Furthermore, for counseling of women not only at the time of gonadotoxic treatment but also post‐treatment and also of women with other benign causes of increased risk for impaired fertility or premature ovarian insufficiency.
