Abstract
The objective of this retrospective analysis is to evaluate whether patients developing a dominant follicle in an in-vitro maturation (IVM) programme can be included in a natural cycle IVF (nIVF) programme. In a university teaching hospital, a total of 38 patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome were treated by metformin before undergoing an IVM cycle. Controlled nIVF was performed on seven patients with a dominant follicle. This paper reports three ongoing pregnancies from five embryo transfers in the latter group. Hence, nIVF can be a novel approach for women developing a dominant follicle during an IVM cycle.
