Twin test tube babies (one male and another female) from the first successful frozen embryo transfer technique were born yesterday to a childless couple at Apollo Hospital Dhaka.
The babies were born under guidance and care of Dr Mrinal Kumar Sarker, obstetrician/gynaecologist and infertility specialist, says a press release.
Mentionable, the Fertility Centre of the hospital conducted the birth of the first test tube babies in February 2009 under the same doctor.
Through frozen embryo transfer, collected embryos from an infertile couple are kept frozen by a procedure called cryopreservation.
These frozen embryos are later transferred to the mother’s uterus for an attempt of a successful pregnancy and this procedure can be repeated several times.
