Dr Jindal said that the patient, a resident of Gurgaon who had been married for seven years, does not go through menstrual cycle.

“The challenge before us was to develop the uterus to a level that menstruation could take place the next bigger challenge was to develop the uterus to facilitate pregnancy”, he said.

“She was given hormonal and endocrinal treatment for six months and embryos were developed in human culture lab with donor eggs and husband’s sperms,” he said.

Egg Donation
The term ‘Egg Donation’ is commonly used to refer to the contribution of her eggs by a woman to another, who is incapable of producing her own.

Dr Jindal said that the developing embryos were implanted in an already prepared uterus. Throughout the pregnancy period, she was kept under our observation and on Friday, she delivered twins. The babies weigh 2.5 and 2.254 kilogram and are perfectly healthy.
