Comparing two egg-retrieval methods for women with PCOS
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of retrieving eggs for fertility treatment in women with PCOS. One method is called IVM (maturation of eggs in the lab) and the other is conventional ovarian stimulation (taking hormones to mature eggs in the body). The goal is to see how each affects a woman's physical and mental well-being during the treatment process.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 35 years old.
- You have a diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) — a common condition that can affect ovulation and egg quality.
- Your AMH level (a hormone that indicates egg supply) is greater than 10 ng/mL, as measured by a specific blood test.
- This is your first round of assisted reproduction (like IVF or ICSI).
- You are eligible for treatment because ovulation-inducing medicines did not work or because of male infertility.
- You can speak Dutch, French, or English, and you are not using donor eggs or need genetic testing of embryos.

This study tests a way to mature eggs outside the body for women with PCOS or high ovarian reserve. It might help avoid side effects from fertility medications.
This study asks about digestive symptoms like irritable bowel syndrome during fertility treatments. It compares people with PCOS starting IVF to those freezing eggs, using simple questionnaires to understand how common these symptoms are.
This trial compares two fertility treatments for women with PCOS: in vitro maturation (IVM) with fresh embryo transfer versus standard IVF with frozen embryo transfer. It aims to find which approach leads to better outcomes.
This trial compares two types of ovarian stimulation protocols (PPOS and antagonist) for women with PCOS undergoing IVF to see which leads to better outcomes. If you have PCOS and are planning IVF, this study may help find the best approach for you.
This trial compares two hormone treatment protocols used during IVF to see which one leads to more genetically normal embryos in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It may help women with PCOS have better chances of a successful pregnancy.
This study looks at how polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects fertility. They will compare women with PCOS to those without to learn more about the condition. The findings may help improve fertility care for women with PCOS.
