In Vitro Oocyte Maturation at New Hope NYC

In Vitro Oocyte (Egg) Maturation (IVM)

In Vitro Oocyte Maturation (IVM) permits the use of immature eggs in IVF. It involves retrieving eggs that have not fully matured inside a woman's ovaries during her menstrual cycle and during an IVF cycle, and maturing those eggs in a maturation medium in our labs. While not all eggs will mature, IVM increases a woman's chance for pregnancy with these additional eggs that do ultimately mature.
