IVM Treatment in Indore: In Vitro Maturation of Eggs
IVM collects immature eggs and matures them in the lab with little or no hormone injection. Learn who IVM suits, especially women with PCOS, and how it differs.
In vitro maturation (IVM) is a variation of IVF in which eggs are collected while still immature and are matured in the laboratory for 24–48 hours before fertilisation. Because the ovaries need little or no stimulation, IVM greatly reduces the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). At Asian Navkar Hospital, Indore, IVM is offered to carefully selected patients after discussing its benefits and limitations.
Who May Benefit from IVM?
- Women with PCOS who have many follicles and a high risk of OHSS
- Women who have had severe OHSS in a previous cycle
- Women who need urgent fertility preservation before cancer treatment, especially hormone-sensitive cancers
- Selected women who wish to avoid high-dose hormones
How IVM Differs from Conventional IVF
In standard IVF, injections grow follicles until eggs are mature. In IVM, injections are minimal or short, immature eggs are collected from small follicles, and the embryology laboratory matures them in a special culture medium. Mature eggs are then fertilised by ICSI. Not all immature eggs mature, so fewer embryos may be available, and pregnancy rates per cycle can be lower than IVF in some groups. Your doctor will explain whether the lower OHSS risk outweighs this for you.
Safety
Follow-up studies of children born after IVM are reassuring so far, though the total number of IVM births worldwide is smaller than for IVF. IVM is considered an established option for women with PCOS by ESHRE-related guidance, with ongoing research.
