ABSTRACT

Oocytes from normo-ovulatory young women are known to show a higher developmental capability than oocytes from women with PCOS.45 Nevertheless, Child et al.42 compared the outcomes of 144 women with normal ovaries, PCO, and PCOS in a prospective study and found a tendency to a better maturation and fertilization rate, but a pregnancy rate and an implantation rate significantly lower in women with normal ovaries than with PCO and PCOS. Obviously, IVM seems best suited to women with PCOS.
