December 1, 2015 updated by: Peter McGovern, MD, University Reproductive Associates

In Vitro Maturation for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)- A Pilot Study

This pilot study will be a prospective investigation to study the efficacy and safety of In-Vitro Maturation (IVM) for women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). There will be 10 subjects total in this Study. There will be no blinding to treatment.

In-Vitro Maturation will provide a viable, safe option for women with PCOS attempting pregnancy through the use of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART).

Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: In Vitro Maturation (IVM)
Other: IVM
all patients in this pilot study will undergo IVM. IVM involves immature eggs being retrieved and matured in the laboratory.After maturation they are fertilized like is done in a typical IVF cycle.
