In vitro maturation involves maturing eggs in a petri dish rather than in the body, potentially eliminating the need for hormonal injections, but it is in early stages and less successful than conventional IVF.

“in vitro maturation. That's where the eggs are like maturing in the petri dish instead of a in a woman's body. So potentially in the future, a woman wouldn't have to take all these injections and you just take the immature eggs, put them in the petri dish, and then give the petri dish the the medications, if you will. Um, that's in very sort of early stages, not quite as successful as conventional IVF yet.”
