      In February it was reported that the University of Edinburgh had successfully grown human eggs in a laboratory, so it looks like this is becoming possible! Read more here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-42976858

      I was about to answer this question as ‘no, I don’t think so’ and then I read Emma’s comment – I’d really recommend that you follow the link she posted because it’s super interesting. Researchers at the University of Edinburgh are doing some great work on this, which they hope will one day help women to get pregnant that otherwise wouldn’t be able to.
