Danish woman first in world to give birth to babies years apart after ovary transplant
When Stinne Holm Bergholdt of Denmark was diagnosed with bone cancer at age 27, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to have children.
So she asked her doctors if they could remove an ovary before her treatment and transplant it back afterward to preserve her fertility.
More than six years later, Bergholdt and her husband now have two daughters, making her the first woman in the world to give birth twice after an ovary transplant.
Details of her case were being published online Thursday in the journal, Human Reproduction.
