Hormone-free infertility treatment....well, here we are finally...it's a clinical reality!! 20 years ago, our old IVM alliance: myself, @jeremygthompso2, Johan Smitz and @MdevosMD made this our aspirational goal. Now Dr Lan Vuong and @TuongMHo got there!!

Past, present and future of IVM: 👉what role in clinical practice? 👉which obstacles to overcome? 👉new perspectives from research? 👇Read the report of a compelling #ESHREjc discussion @RG_EggLab @FlorSR5 @VuongThiNgocLan @krammecc @BortolettoMD academic.oup.com/humrep/adva…

The first live birth after vitrification of ocytes from CAPA-IVM. It was from a single blastocyst transfer.

What an achievement from @TuongMHo and the @research_hope , completely hormone-free ART with good pregnancy outcomes. Only possible with an advanced IVM system. Awesome - we have been waiting a long time to get to this point. Congrats!!

fantastic work @TuongMHo @research_hope . OTO-IVM (ex vivo IVM; immature oocytes from ovarian tissue) is a no-brainer for fertility preservation for a lab routinely running IVM for infertility treatment. Easy peasy !!

This is what mastery of IVM looks like #ESHREjc and with zero patient stimulation!

Delighted to share our new review from HRU on development and application of pre-IVM. academic.oup.com/humupd/arti… It details the long road from animal discoveries over many decades, to bold pre-clinical studies by the co-authors, all the way through to clinical practice.

Our new article - Update on IVM. It is a potential alternative in modern ART. journals.lww.com/co-obgyn/ab…

Do we need FSH priming in CAPA-IVM? RCT gonna finish soon. My Duc Hospital @research_hope

academic.oup.com/humupd/arti… Good to read about the new IVM system. We have good results with this. More than 800 babies have been born. Three-year follow up of children has been assuring. #ESHREjc
