High-tech pregnancies?
Print Edition
FOUR Swedish women with transplanted uteruses have received test-tube embryos in a cutting-edge bid to become pregnant, Swedish researchers said on Monday.
“I cannot verify if any of them are pregnant or not,” said Mats Braennstroem, head of the research team at Sweden’s Gothenburg University.
“We will wait until late pregnancy to release any data on that.”
The embryos — produced by in-vitro fertilization — were transferred into the transplanted wombs during the past month.
The researchers said “the prospects for success are good,” but they did not expect all four women to get pregnant on the first attempt.
“In some patients we will surely have to repeat the procedure,” Braennstroem said.
