The goal of this pilot study is to improve ovarian reserve markers in patients with premature ovarian insufficiency. The main question it aims to answer is: \- Will treatment with G-CSF allow improvement in markers of ovarian reserve?
The research team hypothesize that treatment of premature ovarian insufficiency patients with G-CSF to mobilize bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells will allow for improved ovarian reserve markers including antral follicle count, anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels and gonadotropin (FSH) levels. The research team anticipate these outcomes: * Primary outcome: Decreased serum FSH and increased AMH levels and u/s measurement of increased antral follicle count (AFC) * Secondary outcome: Improved ovarian response in IVF cycles if BAFs develop, and spontaneous or IVF pregnancy.

Improving ovarian reserve markers
Success of the treatment will be assessed by a change in serum FSH, AMH (measure of ovarian reserve) and number of antral follicles (AFC).
Time frame: It is anticipated within six months
Successful Pregnancy
If a change in the number of basal antral follicles is seen in association with an FSH level below 20 IU/L, the subjects will be offered a cycle of IVF to see if oocytes and subsequently embryos can be obtained.
Time frame: It is anticipated after the first six months of the study time frame
