Effectiveness and safety of in vitro maturation of oocytes versus in vitro fertilisation in women with high antral follicle count Vrije Universiteit Brussel

This is particularly relevant in women with a high antral follicle count (AFC) and/or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), who are at increased risk for OHSS. However, no randomised controlled trials of IVM versus IVF in women with high AFC have reported both pregnancy and OHSS rates. ...
