How is Fragile X - associated primary ovarian insufficiency (FXPOI) different than menopause?

Women with FXPOI can still get pregnant in some cases because their ovaries may occasionally function to release viable eggs. Also, women with FXPOI can experience a return of menstrual periods. Meanwhile, women who have completed menopause cannot get pregnant because their ovaries no longer release eggs, and they cannot have menstrual periods again.
