In Vitro Maturation (IVM) is a laboratory process where mature ovarian follicles are collected from a woman's body and cultured in growth media for several days to allow the developing eggs (oocytes) to reach maturity. This technique bypasses the need for hormonal stimulation and ovulation, reducing the risk of complications such as Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS). Once the oocytes have reached maturity, they are fertilized with sperm in a process called In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) to create embryos for transfer into the uterus.

In Vitro Maturation (IVM) is a fertility treatment in Austria where matured oocytes are obtained from a woman's ovarian follicles without hormonal stimulation and then fertilized with sperm. This method reduces the risk of multiple pregnancies and ovarian hyperstimulation.
IVM is often used for women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or those at risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).
