I want to have a baby.

[lovelessheart]

I've been thinking so much about this. I'm seeing people my age start families and it makes me feel left out. Unfortunately I did not use a sperm bank before starting hrt..which I'm over two years post srs . That dream is gone. If you are pre hrt and younger..please consider the possibility . I know it's hard to even think of "sperm" ew..but you don't want to wish u had of done something when jts to late.

You can always adopt a child. There are plenty of kids people don't want. Personally I don't like children and wouldn't want one. I can't even imagine anything as awkward as going to a sperm bank. Besides, I've been on hrt for over 2 years. My "little swimmers" are probably all dead by now.

I know where lovelessheart is coming from. I envied the CIS girls that would be able to, and have down through the years. So it is something to think about. Also if you have a sister, that's another way if you find a husband.

Yes .. it's so sad. After all , we are women. We have every right to feel a way about these things. Especially being infertile. I've thought about adopting but I'm not sure of the process or if I would even have to be married. I'm ready for a little person. All this baby fever omg ! I even look at baby shoes ..maybe I need to join a forum site for women with infertility issues.

Not a bad idea.

I have considered that. I am curious of course. Pregnancy is not possible. It is just too weird for me to imagine. And I am too old for that if it that ever became possible trough some science fiction technology. I don't think I ever will have biological children of my own. Otherwise perhaps who knows.

There are many types of families. Biological children are just one aspect of a family. The most important part of a family is the total commitment to one another. Families are forever.

I can relate... I would also love to be mother. I do get very broody, especially since my friend has started her family. It hurts me, that I cant give my husband a child and if it was possible, I would love to be pregnant with his child. If they ever started transplanting uterus's and wombs into transsexual women, I would be first in line.

Back in the real world... adoption is an option I will be considering.. I would like to adopt at least 3 kids (not all at once).. I think I will be a good mother and my man would make an excellent father.

Too late.  Her name was Lili Elbe.

Uterus transplants are just a few years away , but until then there is always adoption

It's not possible, and it pains me to no end, but that's how things are, and until scientists can sucessfully transfer a womb to a transgender woman it will not be possible.

This is where some of my dysphoria lays.  I have recognized for years that I have wanted to have a baby. To have the man I love fertilize my eggs with his sperm.  To feel my baby grow in my womb.  To bear my child, through the pain of it all.  To hold my baby to my breast and feed with my milk.  That won't ever happen for me.
Sad, Jessica

When I was younger I went through ''pregnancy envy'' but I just accepted it will never happen, I use to get very broody when I was younger and would give anything to get pregnant, as I'm now an older woman I have accepted it will never happen, every other aspect of my transition has been very successful, I have embraced every aspect of womanhood, I think I would have made a good mother, I have made a good housewife for my husband, I do the housekeeping, cooking, cleaning, laundry and grocery shopping etc, I'm a housewife but will never be a mother and it HURTS.

Sounds wonderful, all broody again.

Even with transplanted wombs and uterus, I wonder if we will be able to give birth naturally, I know a woman's bone structure is different to all allow the birthing process and HRT does not change bone structure.. still a c-section is not a bad option.

Yes, I'm sure having to go with a c-section is a price many transwomen would gladly pay to experience the rest of it. I wonder if there are other obstacles in the way though? It is just a dream for now so surely something is holding medical science back... and as much as we want it we should wait until it is a safe and proven thing to do. It wouldn't be right or fair to the baby to attempt it before everyone and everything is ready. I wonder if I will see it in my lifetime...
