Woman births girl from 22-year-old frozen embryo
A 55-year-old Greek woman, which is the maximum age permitted for in-vitro fertilization in Greece, has given birth to a daughter after conceiving with a frozen embryo created through IVF 22 years ago. She had previously lost her child, who was born in 2004 and tragically died in a car accident in 2025. The operation holds particular emotional significance, embodying the continuity of hope and resilience in the field of reproduction. It also encourages raising the maximum age for fertility treatments in the country, given the increasing rates of women giving birth after the age of forty. Data indicate a decline in overall birth rates in Greece, while the number of women giving birth after forty has risen over the past two decades. The woman affirms that science is safe and urges couples not to give up hope of having children.
