In Vitro Maturation (IVM)

A revolutionary fertility treatment IVM, was developed as a safer and more affordable alternative to conventional IVF. IVM treatment collects immature eggs from unstimulated or minimally stimulated ovaries under ultrasound scan guidance after a shortened hormone treatment. These immature eggs are then matured in the laboratory for 24-48 hours using culture medium and small quantities of hormones. Finally, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is used for fertilization of the matured eggs. The resulting embryos are then finally transferred to a women's womb. \r\n\r\nIVM benefits: patients with PCOS due to increased risk of OHSS budget conscious younger women with normal menstrual cycles females diagnosed with cancer prior to chemotherapy or radiotherapy salvaging immature eggs collected during a standard IVF/ICSI.\r\n
