A gentler approach to egg preparation

IVM (In Vitro Maturation)

IVM is an assisted reproductive technology that offers an alternative approach to egg preparation in selected cases. In IVM, eggs are retrieved from the ovaries prior to full maturation, then cultured in specialized IVM media for 24–48 hours until maturation is complete. Once mature, the eggs can be fertilized in the laboratory and the treatment continues according to the patient's care plan.
