vitrification eggs

The first baby to be born from 'Flash frozen' eggs is set to change the future of fertility treatment for British women.

Olivia Bate’s birth will give hope to hundreds of women who need to freeze their eggs for future fertility treatment. For Olivia is the UK’s first baby to be born from an egg that was flash frozen – frozen in less than 60 seconds. Months later the egg was thawed, fertilised and placed in her mother Karen Bateman’s womb.
