Repeated pregnancies and live births after in vitro maturation treatment.
OBJECTIVE
To discuss and describe the successful treatment of women with primary infertility using in vitro maturation (IVM) of immature human oocytes resulting in repeated pregnancies and live births in the same individuals.


METHODS
Case report.


METHODS
McGill Reproductive Center, Royal Victoria Hospital, McGill University.


METHODS
Six patients who underwent IVM treatment.


METHODS
In vitro maturation and fertilization of immature human oocytes.


METHODS
Clinical pregnancies and live births.


RESULTS
We report 11 singleton and 2 twin live births as a result of IVM treatment in six women with polycystic ovary syndrome.


CONCLUSIONS
In vitro maturation of human oocytes is a novel treatment in the management of infertility. It is an effective method of conception, especially in women who have polycyctic ovaries.
