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 oocytes are extracted from women's ovaries and developed in laboratory conditions for fertilization. This process skips the natural maturation process in the body, allowing for more control over the timing of implantation. IVM is popular in Switzerland due to its high success rates and advanced reproductive technology facilities.
IVM treatment usually includes medications to stimulate ovarian follicles and hormonal support during the procedure. The waiting time for IVM in Switzerland ranges from 1 to 3 weeks, depending on individual response to medications.
