In Vitro Maturation With in Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Compared to Mild in Vitro Fertilization (IVM vs IVF)

August 10, 2010 updated by: Batzofin Fertility Services

Clinical Research Study on in Vitro Maturation With IVF Compared to Mild Stimulation IVF

Methods of infertility treatment may involve in vitro fertilization or IVF. Though effective, IVF is complex and expensive. Methods using no gonadotropin hormone stimulation of the ovaries are being compared to mild stimulation doses. The goal of the research is to determine which of these if more suitable as a low cost approach for varying individual patients.
