smithy - good luck for ET

Nat - IVM works by only doing three days (or thereabouts) of FSH injections, doing a trigger injection, and then harvesting the eggs while they are still immature (around 8mm mark). You then have HRT support in the luteal phase and it takes an extra day for the embryos to grow (normal IVF blastocyst takes 5 days, IVM takes 6 days), the first day is spent maturing the eggs in the lab. Thats the short version of it all anyway

I went back to doing IVF this month as our previous two IVM cycles didn't work for us, but I still strongly believe that this will be the procedure of the future - cheaper, less invasive, quicker treament time, less drugs with good outcomes.
