Doctors claim to have reversed menopause in a breakthrough that could allow women to become mothers well into their 50s or 60s. Women usually go through the menopause around the age of 50, and all those treated had been through it early. However, Dr Pantos says the technique may also work ten or 15 years after menopause, allowing much older women to become mothers. Scientists say that one woman who went through menopause five years ago now has two embryos on ice, for use in IVF. The Greek doctors behind the pioneering method believe it will be particularly popular with women who have put off motherhood to pursue careers.
