MYFOXNY.COM - There is a new procedure available to women who need help getting pregnant.
It's called In-Vitro Maturation and it's cheaper than In-Vitro Fertilization.
Dr. Sapna Parikh has the full report.

During In Vitro Maturation the eggs are taken out of the ovary in an immature state and then matured in the laboratory.
Sperm is later injected and embryos are created.
IVM costs about one-third less than IVF.
The rate of success for IVM is at least 10% to 15% lower than traditional In-Vitro Fertilization.
