Woman has child using frozen ovary

A woman who had her ovarian tissue removed and frozen following a childhood illness has made history by giving birth after having her fertility restored by doctors.

The case is expected to give hope to seriously ill women and girls who fear chemotherapy might hinder their chances of conceiving.

The woman underwent the life-saving surgery to remove her right ovary when she was just 13 having been diagnosed with sickle-cell anaemia which required chemotherapy.
