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 which matured ovarian follicles are harvested and the oocytes (eggs) are fully developed in a lab before being fertilized. This process bypasses the need for hormonal stimulation, reducing risks and side effects. IVM is available in Nepal with success rates comparable to IVF.
IVM treatment is popular among patients seeking natural alternatives or who can't tolerate traditional hormone treatments. It also offers environmental benefits as it reduces the number of embryos created and discarded.
