Summary
In vitro maturation (IVM) systems have been developed to support the growth and development of oocytes, from their most immature stages to developmentally competent oocytes. The IVM technique has been in veterinary practice for a long time. The first reported study of IVM in humans dates back to 1965; however, the first pregnancy resulting from IVM in humans was only reported in 1991 and involved the use of donated oocytes from unstimulated ovaries from women undergoing gynecological surgery. A 1994 report described a pregnancy in an anovulatory woman with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) after IVM of her oocytes.
