Frozen Egg Baby Born in Austin, Texas

Catherine Collins is the first baby born in Central Texas — and only the second birth to be announced in Texas — from a frozen egg. She arrived May 3, almost a year after a woman in Houston used her own frozen eggs to bear twins on May 28, 2010. These two babies are among 1,000 such births worldwide, according to estimates by various groups, but new technology is paving the way for more, said Dr. Kaylen Silverberg, an infertility specialist at Texas Fertility Center in Austin who assisted the Navarre family.
