An English woman born without a "womb" and told by doctors she would never conceive defied all odds and gave birth to not one but two girls. Hayley Haynes, then 19, was told by specialists she had been born with XY chromosomes, meaning she was genetically male with no reproductive organs. Now, Haynes and husband Sam, both 28, are overjoyed to have become parents via hormone therapy after a tough nine years of what they thought would be a childless future.The mother of two gave birth naturally on Christmas Eve. Although they were premature, the girls were healthy, and Haynes is ecstatic about the successful birth. “Becoming a mother was the single most amazing moment of my life. When I held the babies in my arms for the first time I was overwhelmed. I had spent nine years coming to terms with the fact this might never happen, but in that moment all the pain just washed away,” said Haynes, the Mirror reported.The new mother did not know she was growing up differently until she was 19 and had not started her period, despite going through other signs of puberty. Haynes was diagnosed with androgen insensitivity syndrome, a genetic condition, inherited (except for occasional spontaneous mutations) where a person is genetically male but is resistant to male hormones, according to Medline Plus. In other words, the person, like Haynes, has some or all of the physical traits of a woman but the genetic makeup of a man.The twin girls were born on Christmas Eve prematurely but healthy, with Avery (5 pounds, 3 ounces) and Darcey (4 pounds, 6 ounces).

I don't entirely understand how this is possible.
In 2007, a doctor gave her good news. A new specialist at Royal Derby Hospital found a tiny womb missed on previous scans. "It was only a few millimetres, but it was a start," she said. "He was optimistic it would grow. I still couldn't conceive naturally but I could have the option of IVF."She was first given hormone tablets that would create the right levels of progesterone and oestrogen, and stop her from suffering osteoporosis. This would in turn create an environment in which her womb could grow.But in 2011, her local National Health Service said they would not be able to fund her IVF treatment. The couple then coughed up £10,500 – more than half their savings – for IVF treatment. Doctors told the couple that they only had a 60 per cent chance of pregnancy, but they were willing to take a leap of faith.
