Detailed Description
A single center, randomized controlled clinical trial will enroll 350 couples with PCOS undergoing their first cycle of IVF. The participation in this study will be approximately 2 years with a total of 7 visits from the cycle beginning, pregnancy to delivery. On day 2 or day 3 following the onset of menstrual bleeding, eligible patients will be allocated to two groups at a ratio of 1:1- IVM protocol, and standard IVF protocol. All participants will be randomized through stratified block randomization according to the study sites.

---|---|
Active Comparator: standard IVF On the Day2/3 of the menstrual cycle, qualified participants will be randomized into either of two groups. Participants in group A will receive standard IVF procedure. Other standard assisted reproductive treatments are similar and parallel between two groups. |
Procedure: standard IVF
Ovarian stimulation will be performed by a standard protocol using gonadotrophin-releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH-ant) in association with recombinant FSH (rFSH) and human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG).Oocyte retrieval is scheduled for 36 (±2) after hCG injection.The retrieved cumulus oocyte complexes (COC) will be inseminated using ICSI or conventional IVF according to the seman analysis. All embryos will be cultured to blastocyst stage and be vitrified.

Active Comparator: In vitro maturation On the Day2/3 of the menstrual cycle, qualified participants will be randomized into either of two groups. Participants in group B will receive IVM procedure.Other standard assisted reproductive treatments are similar and parallel between two groups. |
Drug: In vitro maturation
Controlled ovarian stimulation protocol will not performed in this group patients. Transvaginal ultrasound scanning was examined on natural cycle to monitor the follicle size in group B participants. Oocyte retrieval was scheduled once the endometrium had reached at least 6 mm in thickness and there was no follicle larger than 10 mm. After oocyte retrieval, the COCs will be cultured for 28-32h in special IVM media in order to get the matured oocytes. All the metaphase II (MII) oocytes were inseminated by means of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). All embryos will be cultured to blastocyst stage and be vitrified.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- the proportion of ongoing pregnancy leading to live birth [after 22 weeks of gestation]
number of ongoing pregnancy leading to live birth resulting from the first oocyte retrieval cycle after the randomization ( 6 month) divided by the number of patients with oocyte retrieval
Secondary Outcome Measures
- implantation [28 days after embryo transfer]
Number of gestational sacs observed per embryo transferred
- clinical pregnancy [7 weeks after embryo transfer]
one or more observed gestational sac or definitive clinical signs of pregnancy under ultrasonography at 7 weeks after embryo transfer (including clinical documented ectopic pregnancy)
- Miscarriage [28 weeks of gestation]
Spontaneous loss of an intra-uterine pregnancy prior to 28 completed weeks of gestational age
- Preterm birth [28-37 weeks of pregnancy]
Birth of a fetus delieved after 28 and before 37 completed weeks of gestational age in participants confirmed ongoing pregnancy
- Birth weight [within 2 weeks after live birth]
Including low birth weight (defined as weight <2500 gm at birth), very low birth weight (defined as < 1500 gm at birth), high birth weight (defined as > 4000 gm at birth) and very high birth weight (defined as > 4500 gm at birth).
- Large for gestational age [within 2 weeks after live birth]
Birth weight >90th centile for gestation, based on standardised ethnicity based charts.
- Small for gestational age [within 2 weeks after live birth]
Less than 10th centile for gestational age at delivery based on standardised ethnicity based charts.
- Congenital anomaly [within 2 weeks after live birth]
Any congenital anomaly will be included diagnosed by physical examinition, ultrasound or necessary testing (including CT, X-ray etc.)
- Perinatal mortality [within 2 weeks after live birth]
Fetal or neonatal death occurring during late pregnancy (at 28 completed weeks of gestational age and later), during childbirth, or up to seven completed days after birth.
- Moderate/severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) [From date of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation until the date of oocyte retrieval, assesses about 14-16 days.]
exaggerated systemic response to ovarian stimulation characterized by a wide spectrum of clinical and laboratory manifestations. It is classified as mild, moderate, or severe according to the degree of abdominal distention, ovarian enlargement and respiratory hemodynamic, and metabolic complications. Diagosised by ultrasound, blood testing and physical examination according the Chinese Medical Guildline.
