In our latest Knocked Up podcast episode we are joined by fertility specialist Dr. Violet Kieu to explore IVM—In Vitro Maturation—a promising alternative to IVF.

Unlike IVF, IVM collects immature eggs and matures them in the lab, offering a shorter, less medicated (read injections) and more affordable fertility treatment. IVM could be ideal for women with high egg counts, PCOS, or those needing urgent fertility preservation before cancer treatment.

We also explore Kappa IVM, an exciting new variation showing comparable success rates to IVF with fewer side effects.

Is IVM right for you or someone you know? Tune in to learn how this evolving technology could transform fertility care in Australia.
