Mom Prepares for 7 year-old Daughter’s Pregnancy

A Canadian woman has frozen her eggs to they can be used by her seven-year-old daughter, who is sterile due to Turner's syndrome, a genetic condition that occurs in one out of 2500 female births.

Melanie Boivin, a 36-year old from Montreal, is using a freezing method called vitrification, which has a pregnancy rate similar to that of fresh eggs. The process preserves the eggs for a period of 20 to 25 years.

If the daughter decides to use her mother’s eggs, she will be giving birth to her biological half-sister, while Boivin will become a mother and a grandmother.
