IVM in Mexico

At Instituto Mexicano de Infertilidad (IMI), we understand that every fertility journey is unique. For patients who wish to avoid heavy hormone stimulation or who are at risk for ovarian hyperstimulation, In-Vitro Maturation (IVM) offers a safer, more natural alternative to traditional IVF.

With IVM, immature eggs are gently collected from the ovaries and matured in IMI’s advanced embryology lab before fertilization—reducing discomfort, cost, and medical risk while maintaining strong pregnancy success rates.

IMI proudly offers IVM in Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta, making it an ideal option for patients from the U.S., Canada, and across Latin America seeking advanced fertility treatment with minimal intervention.

Gentle, Effective Fertility Care for Natural Balance

What Is IVM?

In-Vitro Maturation (IVM) is a fertility treatment that allows eggs to mature outside the body instead of through intensive hormonal stimulation.

Unlike standard IVF, which requires 10–12 days of high-dose injections, IVM uses little or no stimulation medication. The retrieved eggs are then cultured and matured in the laboratory using IMI’s proprietary media formulations.

Once matured, the eggs are fertilized through ICSI or PICSI, and the resulting embryos are transferred back into the uterus.

Benefits of IVM

🌿 Lower hormone exposure — gentle or no ovarian stimulation.
💛 Safer for PCOS patients — eliminates risk of OHSS.
💸 Reduced cost — fewer medications and monitoring visits.
🕊️ Faster treatment cycle — ideal for urgent fertility preservation.
👶 Strong success rates with IMI’s lab technology.

How IVM Works at IMI

Mild Stimulation (Optional)

Low-dose or no hormones are administered to encourage follicle development.

Laboratory Maturation

The eggs are placed in IMI’s custom maturation media, where they complete natural growth under controlled lab conditions.

Fertilization

Mature eggs are fertilized with partner or donor sperm using ICSI or PICSI to ensure high fertilization rates.

Embryo Transfer

After 3–5 days of culture, the healthiest embryos are transferred into the uterus or frozen for future use.

Yes—IVM was designed specifically for PCOS patients and eliminates OHSS risk.

Q4. Can I freeze eggs from IVM?

Absolutely. Mature eggs or embryos from IVM can be vitrified for future use.
