She was one of 10 women to have a groundbreaking uterus transplant

At just 14, Jennifer Dingle was diagnosed with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome , a disorder that meant she was born without a uterus and therefore, could never carry a baby.

Jennifer, 33, said: ‘I had an examination, and they couldn’t see a cervix, so I was sent to a specialist. They confirmed I didn’t have a cervix but that I did have ovaries. After further tests, they discovered I had no uterus and was diagnosed with MRKH. Jennifer said: ‘Jason has always been incredibly supportive of my condition, I told him from the very start. He told me not to worry and that we would become parents no matter what.’

Jennifer underwent an IVF cycle which created five embryos and, in November, the clinic had found a living donor who wanted to to donate her womb.
