A 27-year-old woman in Belgium is now a mom after giving birth to a baby more than a decade after her ovarian tissue was removed and frozen, according to a new study.

The woman had her ovarian tissue frozen in her early teens, before she underwent a bone marrow transplant to treat her sickle cell anemia. Such transplants involve drugs that can destroy the ovaries.

The method that the researchers used to freeze the ovarian tissue could spare fertility in other girls who must undergo serious medical treatments during childhood, according to the study.
