#Woman uses her ovary frozen at 13, gives birth LONDON: In a medical breakthrough, a 28-year-old woman has become the first person in the world to give birth to a baby using ovarian tissue that was removed
Previous successful transplants resulting in pregnancies have used frozen ovary tissue removed from adult women, but in this case it was taken from a girl
The woman, who was born in the Republic of congo but moved to Belgium aged 11, had received a transplant of her brother's bone marrow to treat her sickle-cell anaemia
she decided to start a family and doctors, led by Isabelle Demeestere, a gynaecologist and research associate at Erasme hospital,
After two years, she became pregnant naturally with her partner and delivered a healthy boy in November last year.
The doctors said the woman should be able to have more children and that a second transplantation was possible
