INFERTILITY: Prolong Fertility: Ovarian Transplants From: Hope Waltman (anonymous@obgyn.net) Wed, 11 Mar 2009 18:16:35 -0500 (CDT) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Kelly: "CHRONICPAIN: Advice Please" Previous message: Lindsay: "CERVICALBIOPSY: cervical biopsy gone bad" A Hope to Prolong Fertility: Ovarian Transplants "Yarber's microsurgical procedure involved the transplantation from her sister to her of a thin strip of cortical tissue — the part of the ovary that produces eggs. (The leftover strips of egg-producing tissue from the harvested ovary were frozen and stored for future use.) Within months, Yarber began menstruating. In September 2004, just five months after the transplant, she was pregnant. Five years and another tissue transplant later, Yarber has two daughters, ages 3½ years and 10 months, and is trying for a third child." "An article published in the Feb. 26 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine urges oncologists to consider fertility preservation, including the use of experimental techniques, more routinely with their patients, since as many as 90% of women who undergo full-body radiation become infertile." http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1883894,00.html?cnn=yes Best Regards, Hope Waltman, WHF Moderator http://www.hopeforfibroids.org Next message: Kelly: "CHRONICPAIN: Advice Please" Previous message: Lindsay: "CERVICALBIOPSY: cervical biopsy gone bad"
