IVM is an assisted reproductive technology that does not require ovarian stimulation and, therefore, reduces the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.

- Polycystic ovary syndrome or polycystic ovaries
- Risk of ovarian hyperstimulation or trying to avoid ovarian stimulation
- Fertility preservation
- Low response to ovarian stimulation
