A woman in her 20s has welcomed a newborn baby girl into the world after taking part in a groundbreaking fertility study led by a Derry-based scientist.
Charlotte, a 29-year-old from London who took part in the randomised trial from 2019 to 2023, was diagnosed with PCOS several years prior.But, after some apprehension, she underwent bariatric surgery as part of the trial in July 2021 and in late 2023 she welcomed her first daughter. The most common hormonal disorder in women of reproductive age, women living with PCOS have a 15 times higher risk of not being able to conceive due to low ovulation levels, and a 2-3 times higher risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes than women without PCOS, the university said.
Over the year that followed, the surgical group was found to have a significantly higher rate of spontaneous ovulation, approximately 2.5 times greater than that of the medical group. This means that those who underwent bariatric surgery began producing eggs naturally following their treatment.
