First U.S. baby born from ovary transplant!

Post by valerie »

Baby born Monday night, 15 months after the mother received a

transplant of ovarian tissue from her identical twin sister.



Doctors say this does not open the door to widespread use of

the transplants to cure infertility, because the twin sister was a

perfect match genetically there was no need for anti-rejection

drugs.



New mom Stephanie Yarber of Muscle Shoals, Ala., became pregnant

naturally about 6 months after the transplant without any drug

treatment or further surgery. Her baby girl was born naturally

weighing 7 pounds, 14 ounces.

Interesting, but to be honest, I`m much fonder of little babies who I actually KNOW!
