However, the factors predisposing the success or failure of IVM cycles are unclear. Now, a recent study published in the December issue of the journal, Human Reproduction suggests that dominant follicle (DF) size of =14mm at oocyte retrieval following human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) priming improves pregnancy outcomes in cycles programmed for IVM treatment. Weon-Young Son from the McGill University, Montreal, and coworkers conducted a study on 160 women with polycystic ovaries (171 cycles) to compare the DF size at oocyte retrieval after hCG priming with IVM outcome. When the endometrial thickness reached a minimal of 6 mm, the researchers subcutaneously administered 10,000 IU hCG, 35 to 38 hours prior to oocyte collection. The retrospective analysis was performed in 3 study groups based on the DF diameter: group 1, with a diameter of =10 mm; group 2, between 10 and 14 mm; and group 3 of >14mm. In the corresponding 3 groups, 6.IVFCycle]]> InfertilityClinicsIndia]]> surrogatemom]]> surrogacy]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Advantages-Of-Ivm-Cycle-Over-Ivf-Cycle/623432 Sat, 30 May 2009 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Advantages-Of-Ivm-Cycle-Over-Ivf-Cycle/623432
