Hi ladies. I have never posted here before... I was just doing some google searches for IVM info when I found this thread. I have just recently started my first IVM cycle at FSWA. According to Dr. Junk, FSWA is still the only clinic in Australia offering the IVM treatment. He also told us that their success rates are now equally as good with IVM as with IVF at their clinic, which is promising.
This procedure was the ideal choice for my husband and I since I have PCOS, and we have already had two cancelled IVF cycles at Concept due to overstimulation. My estrogen was 53,000 the first cycle (very scary) and 26,000 the second (not much better). I will be having my third injection of puregon tonight, then back to FSWA for another blood test and u/s tomorrow. Hopefully things will be looking good.
It was good to get an insight into someone else's experience with this, Bec. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Rhianna - I hope it goes well for you! Steve is a great embryologist and really looks after the IVM patients. Im cycling at the moment so I might bump into you at the clinic!
Steve has definitely been wonderful. I have no complaints about any of the staff at FSWA so far.
We ended up with 2 embryos reaching blastocyst, which we are extremely pleased with. We had transfer today, and one is on ice. Fingers crossed the first one sticks!
Today i had my blood test for an IVM treatment ( 5 eggs retrieved, 2 matured, of the 2 only 1 blastocyst, nothing to freeze) and unfortunately it was a BFN. Have any of you startd your IVM treatment yet? I wish you all the best of luck
Im going to try ivf next, should be starting end of this month. Still concerned with OHSS, if they do have to cancel the cycle are they able to retrive the eggs and freeze?? I still have a few questions will defintley have them all ready at the next appointment.
