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 Canada where immature eggs are harvested and developed into mature ones in the laboratory. The process includes ultrasound monitoring, hormone stimulation, and egg retrieval.
IVM can be an alternative to In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) for women with certain medical conditions or those who prefer a less invasive procedure. Success rates vary depending on individual factors.
