I have been thinking about something. If there was a risky operation in which they could transplant a working female reproductive system into your body and you could have a child safely with the same risks any GG woman would have, would you?
I mean, thats the one thing that bothers me a lot, even if i do everything right and become the woman i want to be, in the end i cannot have children of my own, I know i can adopt, and plan to in the future, but that doesnt stop me from feeling, well, broken...
Its like i will never have the opportunity to feel a life growing inside me, to see my husband's smile as i hold HIS child for the first time, things like that bother me a bit... dont know maybe i am weird or my bio-clock went off...
No you aren't weird! I have those same feelings and those feelings are some of the strongest feelings that led to my realization that I'm supposed to be female. I would do that in a second if it was possible. <3
I would do it in a heart beat! This when I think about not being able to have kids without adopting it kind of makes me sad. But then again, adopting is one of the greatest things you could ever do!

Girl, I would JUMP at the chance!!!!!!! I know having a period would be hard but I don't care and gosh I want my own biological kids =(
If this was 36 years ago when I was still young and transitioned, you bet your sweet bippy I would! (Of course you are probably too young to remember "bippy" LOL!) It wouldn't matter WHAT the risk was - I wanted to have children more than anything else in the world. I'd take periods, PSM, and all the other down-sides and risks!
It would depend how risky it is.
I'm 21, I've barely lived any of my life yet, I'd rather not chance it if it's too risky.
If it were along the same lines as most surgery as far as risk though, I definitely would.
There is nothing more beautiful than to bring new life into the world, and if I had the chance to be the one that new life came out of, I would relish that experience. I have had the opportunity to FATHER two beautiful children, but I wish I could MOTHER a child as well, so I would be up for it.
OMG I want babies so bad! I am glad I am not a father, but I would give up a lot for the chance to be a mother.
In a heartbeat.
Even though I'd almost certainly never use it, since I'm just not into boys, and don't even have a particularly strong desire to have children.
But there's no question. I mean, are you kidding? I've wanted that since I had a notion that such a distinction existed.
I thought about that allot in younger days and wished and wished and wished
But I'm too old now :'(
Maybe someone will be so lucky to be able to do it in the future

my best friend doesn't get why I would want to have my period lol. I mean I don't WANT to but at the same time I do.
Yeah, I definitely would. I'm still young so there's a chance yet that one day I could, but if not then adopting isn't a bad option. I would at least be providing a better future for a neglected or abused child, so it's not too bad.
It depends on how risky the operation is. Being able to get pregnant has been one of my long-time dreams, but if there was a good chance of dying I would pass. I'm not going to reach the end of my transition only to throw it away for a chance. If the chances for living were good, however, I would go for it.
I had approximately zero interest in spawning my own until the estrogen kicked in. Now I'd take a womb in a heartbeat.
I absolutely would. I want one so bad I cry about it sometimes.
At my age now, 56, no. Getting too old to have children. I was there when my exes had our children, so I experienced it vicariously through them. But to personally experience PMS, a period and any down sides, To quote Northern Jane "You bet your Bippy". And I might one of the few who knows what your bippy is. :D
So 'Sock it to me'.
Why risky? those things aren't risky if they are available..
Besides, ovaries are being implanted quite a bit now.
Uterus is a bit more complicated, there was one try as I know of, it was done in Saudi Arab and had to be removed due to blood clot complication
If the risk was just death, then yes. I would take the risk.
If it was to never be able to have SRS/GRS then no...
Nope.
I used to think getting my first period was a right of passage but the more I though about it I was like "naaa, I done had to deal with morning wood and the random erection popping up at all the wrong times. Two rights of passage just sounds like bad juju to me."
Perhaps if I did not already have two lovely daughters I may feel differently but watching my close friend deal with the bloody mess while were out shopping or what not... I'll pass. I just want my Vajayjay! Sans blood please.
