exactly!
see. in turner think of it as there are no ovaries. so there will be increase in LH and FSH negative feedback
where as in pitutiary failure. there will be no LH FSH ( increase GnRH)
on a side note: Goljan says: turners are like premenstural menopause. ( also inc incidence of dysgerminomas)
