## TL;DR

A couple with PCOS-related infertility successfully achieved pregnancy using in vitro maturation and ICSI.

## Contribution

Demonstrates successful use of in vitro maturation for PCOS-related infertility in a clinical case.

## Key findings

- In vitro maturation combined with ICSI led to successful fertilization and clinical pregnancy.
- PCOS-related infertility can be effectively treated with IVM and assisted reproductive techniques.
- Continuous research and clinical experience are needed to optimize IVM outcomes.

## Abstract

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrinological disorder affecting women of reproductive age, characterized by hormonal imbalance leading to metabolic and reproductive dysregulations. This case report revolves around a 30-year-old husband and his 27-year-old partner. The male partner had normozoospermia, and the female spouse had PCOS, according to the couple's diagnostic evaluations. The female patient received ovarian stimulation specifically to assist with PCOS, and the retrieved oocytes were then matured in vitro. After intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), fertilization and embryonic development were successful. Treatment of PCOS-related infertility presents many challenges, and in vitro maturation (IVM) and its potential as an effective assisted fertility method are discussed. To optimize treatment outcomes, the conclusion shows the importance of IVM and other assisted reproductive techniques for infertility. It also focuses on the necessary continuous research and clinical experience. Clinical pregnancy was confirmed by measuring serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) levels followed by ultrasound sonography (USG), which showed a normal growth rate of the fetus.
