I'd like to have children, but...

[Delaney]

Okay, so my outward acceptance of my transness is recent, even though I've been aware of it in some manner of cognitive dissonance for more than a decade...

Well, here's the thing.  Part of me wants to start HRT ASAP, but I'm worried that I'll be left impotent.  My personal dream is be to find a woman who accepts and loves me for who I am, and has a child or two with me.  From there I'd complete my transition and go through with SRS.  We'd then live happily ever after in this strange sort of modern fairy tale.

Perhaps that's a bit much to ask for, but it's what I want.  Call it maternal instinct if you will.  I just want to know if it will be viable if I undergo HRT.

Hi,

By far, the best thing to do is to bank some sperm.  Yes, there have been trans women on HRT who have impregnated a woman.  However, that is uncommon. 

Put some in a bank and do the HRT when it is right for you.  If you don't need the little spermies, only a few dollars wasted.  But if you need them and they aren't there......

Once you lower your T your ability to produce viable sperm will decrease.

If you want to procreate, bank your sperm now before you do start.

Good to know.  I'm now officially looking into options for sperm banking.
