Amazing story...

"A woman from Turkey who became the first person to successfully receive the uterus from a deceased donor may now be pregnant, a hospital has said.

Specialists at Akdeniz University Hospital, in Antalya, using IVF treatment had placed an embryo inside the womb of Derya Sert, 22, with her doctor Mustafa Ünal reported to have said in a statement that she was two weeks pregnant and “doing fine”. Hospital spokeswoman Fusun Bas said on Friday that early test results were "consistent with the expected signs of pregnancy", although it was still very early.   

It would be the second piece of history made by Mrs Sert who was described as a ‘medical miracle after the initial transplant in August 2011. Doctors had wanted to wait for 18 months before starting IVF to ensure there were no problems with the transplant. Mrs Sert, married Mustafa Sert, 35, four years ago and the embryo implanted in her womb was created using one of her eggs and her husband’s sperm. Doctors said that if the baby would be delivered via Caesarean section and the womb would be removed afterwards to prevent any further complications."
