Tasmanian women with ticking biological clocks can now place their fertility on ice while they search for "Mr Right".
In a first for the state, doctors at Tas IVF in Hobart have cracked the holy grail of assisted reproduction and successfully implanted an embryo made from a frozen egg in a Hobart woman.
Tas IVF director Dr Bill Watkins said the breakthrough opened new opportunities for women building their careers or still searching for a partner, women having cancer treatment and couples who did not want to freeze embryos for religious reasons.
Egg freezing allows such women to place their fertility on ice in their 20s or 30s to use as late as their 50s.
