In vitro maturation of oocytes is successful, but it is less successful than in conventional IVF/ICSI cycles.

In the latest SEF National Activity Registry Report (Registro Nacional de Actividad 2021-Registro SEF) it is reported that only 5 IVM cycles were initiated during 2021, of which 3 had transfer and there was 1 gestation (33.3% of gestations by transfer) and 0 deliveries.

In the case of IVF/ICSI of fresh own oocytes, 46,224 cycles were initiated during that same year, 18,454 transfers were performed resulting in 6,353 gestations (with the percentage of gestations by transfer being 34.4 %) and 4,656 deliveries (25.2 % of deliveries by transfer).
