ABSTRACT

The preliminary results from our study confirm that mature and immature oocyte retrieval followed by IVF and IVM is an efficient treatment for women with various causes of infertility. The results from this study also indicate that hCG should be given when the size of the leading follicles has reached 12-14 mm in diameter in order to maximize the mature oocyte recovery rate, which may relate directly to the pregnancy rate. In summary, the results from our study demonstrate that natural cycle IVF combined with IVM is an effective treatment in a selected group of women.
