Twins, one boy one girl were born last week using a method called in vitro maturattion(IVM).
It involves collecing immature eggs from the ovaries.
Over about 48 hours, they are matured in a laboratory after which a single sperm cell is inserted.
The costs are lower because fewer drugs are used.
About 400 babies have been conceived using this method.
