Eight years after having "slices" of her ovaries removed, frozen and stored, Lisa had them reimplanted last month in the hope of becoming pregnant.

Specialists at Monash IVF hope the slices will regenerate in her reproductive system - and effectively reverse menopause by starting a process that will release eggs and make her fertile again.

If it works, Lisa could become the first woman in Australia to become pregnant using the technique.

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
