In a press note, Dr Kavya Rao said IVM was a technique to obtain oocytes that are developed in vitro prior to fertilisation with sperm in a laboratory with an embryo transferred back into a patient’s uterus with the aim of an ongoing pregnancy and live birth.

“CAPA in vitro maturation (IVM) is the latest addition to traditional infertility treatment practices like IUI, IVF, ICSI, etc. This treatment is unique and is being offered by very few centres in the world. Oasis is the only centre in India to have expertise in CAPA IVM,” she said.

CAPA IVM or Drug Free IVF is a groundbreaking technique and is a boon to women with PCOS, Thrombophilia, Resistant ovary syndrome, Oocyte maturation problems, and women who have Cancer and need immediate treatment. It is also less intensive, less invasive and more economical, she added.
