Résumé vulgarisé

It has been two decades since pregnancies have been obtained through in vitro maturation (IVM) of germinal vesicle-stage oocytes retrieved from non-stimulated ovaries. This technique first offered in PCOS cannot be recommended today in this indication because the results do not match those of regular ART, and new GnRH antagonist and agonist-trigger protocols reliably prevent OHSS.
