Advantages of IVM
A great advantage of in vitro maturation is the minimization of using drugs, consequently, having less possible side effects, during treatment and later on. Since IVM applies little to no hormone to stimulate ovaries, it greatly eliminates the risk of developing ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), a risk that candidates for IVF surgery may confront. Further advantage of IVM compared to other options such as IVF is harvesting multiple oocytes instead of one to increase the chance of having viable eggs for the success of an operation.
Pre-retrieval examinations
Initial ultrasound and blood tests help to determine the best time for retrieving the eggs. Some cases may also be asked to take stimulating pills or suppository hormones prior to the procedure.
IVM in Iran
Because In-Vitro Maturation is a complicated procedure, not every fertility center offers this treatment. However, highly equipped fertility clinics and institutes in Iran, such as “Royan Institute”, “Avicenna Fertility Clinic” and “Reproductive Sciences Institute” in Yazd offer their services at a global level. The provision of fertility treatment services has made these centers known as leading centers in infertility treatment. Specialized clinics of these centers, has made their treatments more comprehensive and privileged than the past, providing diagnostic services, including cytology and genetic tests, ultrasound and radiography as well as the provision of all fertility-related advice such as nutrition, psychiatry, genetics and sexual health. Patients are welcomed from around the world to receive quality treatments in these centers.
A practical point for your care
Before an operation, the pre-assessment team should review your health, previous tests and all medicines and supplements. Ask for written instructions on medicines, eating, drinking and aftercare that apply to your planned procedure.[1]
