Title: Surgery to make MEN become PREGNANT?
Post by: Shelina on September 15, 2009, 08:37:31 PM
Once in the past I heard that a man can have surgeries which can make him bare a child, did anyone among you here undergo this surgery and does this even really exist? I never heard anyone who has ever undergone this surgery till now.

That makes no sense. Where would the babies come out of?

I've heard of experiments to do such surgeries, but no success stories

Why not, if I manage to survive till the end of the baby growth and it can be delivered by caesarean section, yes, I'm in. Absolutely.

Theoretically it would be possible.  The embryo could be placed on the intestine and draw nourishment from the host ( Mom ), much in the same way that it does from the uterus.  The only drawback is that the uterus also protects the developing embryo and houses the embryonic sack.

The uterus is suspended with in the body, thus so is the child.  In reality it would not be possible.  If it was then I would be right there, especially if I was a contribution partner.  Then the child would be truly my child.

I'm confused - was it "once in the past" or "now" that you heard this?

You do seem to be starting a lot of topics with a wide range of diverse questions - perhaps a nice, cosy evening with your favorite search engine is called for? :)  In this case, a Google search for "male pregnancy" will yield the information you seek.

There has been research for implants and the like for women who were not fertile for various sorts of genetic reasons. The last attempt, that I am aware of, a few years ago did not work and at the time the question of male pregnancy came up. The researchers were not even considering that angle and dismissed it as something that, as of this time, was not feasible for various reasons.

Implanting into a TS woman has been tried before, many decades ago, and it tragically failed.
