World’s First Successful Uterus Transplant Recipient Is Pregnant via in Vitro Fertilization
The first woman ever to receive a uterus from a deceased donor, is two-weeks pregnant following a successful embryo transplant, her doctors said on Friday.
The 22-year-old Derya Sert was revealed to be almost two-weeks pregnant in preliminary results after in vitro fertilisation at Akdeniz University Hospital in Turkey’s southern province of Antalya, her doctor Mustafa Unal said in a written statement.
“She is doing just fine at the moment,” Unal said.
Sert was described as a “medical miracle” when she became the first woman in the world to have a successful womb transplant from a dead donor in August 2011 at the same Antalya hospital.

Freaking amazing. We’ll have to wait and see if the pregnancy continues successfully but if this right here doesn’t make you want to promote science then nothing will. It’s all about procreation right??
