IVM ideal for which patients?
The procedure of IVM is as follows:
Step 1: Immature egg’s collection
A collection of eggs at the immature stage .IVM does not force women to take ovary-stimulating hormone before the collection of eggs.
Step 2: Placing eggs in incubator

Patients are advised with the IVM by the doctors when in their consideration your OHSS is higher than the average.
Creation of more eggs in IVM without stimulating drugs. Early maturation of eggs collected from the ovaries in approximately 24-48 hours once they are cultured in the laboratory.IVM resulting in viable embryos which are used for further transfer in the subsequent cycle.
