IVM Versus IVF in High Antral Follicle Count Patients

Patients in IVM group will receive FSH (Menopur, Ferring) for 2 days on day 2/3 of the menstrual cycle (spontaneous/ OCP administration) and the ultrasound scan will be performed subsequently. Oocytes retrieval will be performed 42 hours after the last injection. Pre-maturation will last for 24-30 hours. ICSI will be used for insemination. Freeze-only on day 3 and frozen embryo transfer will be performed on the subsequent cycle using HRT protocol with a maximum of 2 embryos transferred.

Patients in IVF arm will undergo controlled ovarian hyperstimulation with recombinant FSH (Menopur, Ferring) in GnRH antagonist protocol, treatment monitoring using ultrasound scans and blood tests. GnRH agonist will be used for final oocytes maturation. ICSI will be used for insemination. Freeze-only on day 3 and frozen embryo transfer will be performed on the subsequent cycle using HRT protocol with a maximum of 2 embryos transferred.
