Description

• n Vitro Maturation (IVM)
• IVM is a revolutionary fertility treatment
  developed to provide a safer and a cheaper
  alternative to conventional IVF.
• In Vitro Maturation (IVM) is a relatively new
  procedure similar to in vitro fertilization
  (IVF), yet with a notable difference. IVF
  utilizes a regimen of medications to bring a
  patient's eggs to maturity before they are
  removed from the ovary IVM retrieves eggs while
  they are still in the immature stage, and brings
  them to maturity in the laboratory (in vitro).
• IHR's expertise in In Vitro Maturation (IVM) lies
  in our willingness and ability to individualize
  our approach to best suit each and every one of
  our patients. If you have any questions as you
  review the material on In Vitro Maturation (IVM)
• Immature eggs are collected from unstimulated or
  minimally stimulated ovaries under ultrasound
  scan guidance. The immature eggs are then matured
  in the laboratory for 24-48 hours using culture
  medium with added small quantities of hormones.
  Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is used
  for fertilization of the matured eggs. The
  resulting embryos are transferred to the women's
  wombs.

• Stimulated IVF is associated with the risk of
  developing ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome
  (OHSS) which is a potentially fatal condition and
  IVM eliminates this risk because it does not
  involve ovarian stimulation. Also, IVM is less
  expensive than IVF because it does not involve
  taking costly gonadotropin injections and involve
  less monitoring. Moreover, IVM is a shorter
  treatment regimen compared with in vitro
  fertilization. IVM is ideal for patients who
  are unable to tolerate the effects of the
  medications necessary to urge oocytes to
  maturity, such as fertility preservation for
  cancer patients who are early in recovery and on
  other medications, for these patients, the same
  treatments that are used to trigger oocytes to
  transition to maturity, may also cause a
  stimulative effect on deadly cancer cells. Other
  examples include as an alternative to IVF for
  women with PCOS these patients are at
  significant risk of OHSS, as an alternative to
  IVF for younger women with normal menstrual
  cycles, IVM being less costly and safer, for
  salvaging immature eggs collected during a
  standard IVF/ICSI (when unexpectedly a
  significant number of eggs collected are
  immature), for women who will benefit most from
  in vitro maturation are women aged 35 and younger
  and have antral follicle count of 10 or more. As
  well, other kinds of patients may benefit from
  IVM, incuding some Prematurely Aging Ovary
  patients. IVM is also a way to avoid expensive
  gonadotropins and risks related to ovarian
  hyperstimulation.
