Association between mild stimulated IVF/M  cycle and early embryo arrest in sub fertile women with/without PCOS.

CONCLUSIONS: The mildly stimulated IVF/M protocol produced acceptable clinical outcomes in PCOS and non-PCOS patients. IVM itself rather than the PCOS condition adversely affected the embryo development through its effect on mitochondrial function, which appeared to be a possible cause for the embryo arrest in the IVM cycles rather than chromosomal aneuploidy.
