New York, Apr 13 (ANI): A hospital in Turkey is anticipating what may be the first successful pregnancy and birth for a woman with a transplanted uterus.
Derya Sert, 22, was born without a womb and had one transplanted in August 2011, the New York Daily News reported.
Specialists at Akdeniz University Hospital placed an embryo into Sert's womb earlier this week in hopes she will become the first woman with a uterus transplant to give birth.
Hospital spokeswoman Fusun Bas said Friday that early test results were "consistent with the expected signs of pregnancy" but cautioned that it is too early to declare Sert pregnant.
A successful pregnancy and birth would provide hope for women who were born without a womb or lost a uterus to cancer or other diseases. (ANI)
