IVM

IVM

Unlike traditional IVF, where eggs are retrieved as close to ovulation as possible, IVM captures the eggs much sooner, when they are still “immature.” The eggs are then “matured” in the laboratory for about two days using a culture medium containing small amounts of hormones.

Women who suffer from ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) typically benefit the most from IVM.

At Rhea Hospital, we treat patients with infertility problems with the utmost care and compassion. Our mission is to provide affordable infertility care of the finest standard; hence, we have developed an infertility programme and employ highly qualified doctors.

Advantages of IVM include

  • Less fertility medication
  • There is a lower risk of OHSS
  • It is less expensive because it does not involve costly gonadotropin injections
  • Less time than IVF

Why IVM?

At Rhea IVF and Women’s Hospital, we have adopted this technique for the following reasons

  • We have adopted this technique to guarantee successful and long-term outcomes.
  • With our high-tech laboratory, we can facilitate the maturation of eggs safely and efficiently.
  • After the eggs have matured, we can then guide the patient on how to proceed with suitable forms of treatment with guaranteed egg quality.

What is the difference between IVM and IVF?

As part of therapy, both IVF and IVM involve the process of removing eggs from the ovary. IVF uses injectable medications before egg collection, and IVM does not. In IVM, eggs are collected from the ovary earlier in the treatment cycle than in IVF. All the other steps are virtually identical.
The best candidates for IVM should meet the below-mentioned criteria:

  • People who are under 35 years old (best below 30 years of age).
  • Have a significant number of follicles per ovary (preferably > 15), as shown on a vaginal ultrasound.
  • Have undergone a stimulated IVF cycle that resulted in producing a large number of eggs.
  • Maintaining a healthy weight.

Rhea Hospital offers expert care and resolves various infertility conditions through effective and innovative technologies. We always strive to work efficiently for our patients—our extended family.
