I wish I could. I really hate not being able to have kids.

I said something similar once to a friend when she was worried if she'd ever be able to carry a baby.

i know i do. but since i can still have someone carry the baby for me and do the whole IVF thing i see it as ok. because at least i can keep my good looking body

Ok I'll settle for second on the list

Nope, I've never even had a desire to have kids...especially in a world like this one.

Sure I might adopt, but I will not willingly bring a child into this world.

I've often wondered what it might be like, and wished I could know what it was like, but plenty of cis women have done both those things without ever being pregnant. I know at least three who have no wish to have children at all, in fact they're glad that they haven't.

It's a curiosity for me. I already fathered a two year old so I don't have that need dragging me along.

That said it would be neat but I would caution you that anti rejection drugs do nasty things to the body and could affect the baby. It would be best if they figure out how to grow one for you.

If you are that game for it then go a head but be prepared for the consequences. Cis women have enough complications during pregnancy without worry about rejecting their own womb.

Personally if I have another I will probably adopt. I do love children and I see where this cold be a need. Best of luck to those who brave this.

I would love to. It would be great!!! Hormones have changed my ody but also my thinking: I was really born to be a wife and a mother.

Iv all ways been maternal so it is something I would really consider if it is posible in the future and as for the fact about anti rejection drugs they don't affect the baby

No, i think humans should top having kids in general. There is so many children out there who are orphaned that need homes. Also the state of the world doesn't really show such a bright future for our children right now, i kinda gave up on the idea of wanting to have children just to have one. I know a lot of people have the desire to have babies and that's perfectly fine  but i guess i tend to look at the big picture the most.

Not jealous but envious, for sure, ever since high school.

It's interesting, when I was slightly younger and first coming to terms with being trans, I would have said no way would I want to get pregnant. As I've gotten a bit older and the start of transition nears I have often thought about how I wish I could get pregnant and how it saddens me that this is one thing I (at least for now until hopefully science catches up) will never get to experience. So here's to hoping someone figures it out!

From earliest childhood I just wanted to grow up and be a mommy. By 13 or 14 I figured out that just wasn't going to happen and that was BY FAR the most painful part of being TS. (Don't even mention fathering a child - the idea was just revolting!) When I transitioned at 24 most of my friends were between 20 and 30 and everybody was having babies!  Sometimes it was hard to be around my pregnant friends without getting sad but sometimes I could share in their joy. I never did go to a baby shower though I got many invitations - I just KNEW I wouldn't be able to hold it together at a shower. In time my friends came to realize why I didn't go to showers and stopped sending me invitations. I loved being auntie to my friends babies but sometimes the babies got wet (tears). It was a relief when my friends had finished with their families but now, in my 60s, it is the next generation of babies that  bring up such conflicted feelings, the mixture of joy and sorrow.

It was actually the birth of my niece that pushed me over the edge in my early 20s. My sister and I were very close through her pregnancy and I was unwittingly living vicariously her pregnancy with her. The first time I held my niece, I was overwhelmed by a tidal wave of maternal feelings (to the point of letting down milk!) and in all the time with my infant niece I knew that ALL of the normal maternal feelings were there in spades! That is when I knew that I had to have surgery or die.

No jealousy, just a profound feeling of loss!

Yes. It helps to remind myself that there are millons of cis women who have fertility or partnership issues and feel the same way.

I hope you ladies don't mind me butting in... but I thought you might find this interesting: the world's first womb transplant happened in 2000 in Saudi Arabia, but it was unsuccessful. Since then, various teams in the UK, USA, Turkey and Sweden have been working on getting it right. They're currently engaged in a race to achieve the world's first successful pregnancy with a transplanted uterus, and it may happen as early as next year.

The Turkish team in Akdeniz University recently managed to get a woman pregnant with a transplanted womb (sadly she miscarried, but work is ongoing): http://www.akdeniz.edu.tr/en/?id=44

A British team at Imperial College London is hoping to start human trials next year on five women who were born without wombs; take a look at their 'News' section: http://www.wombtransplantuk.org/

The Swedish team is at Sahlgrenska University Hospital: http://www.sahlgrenska.se/sv/SU/Omraden/1/Verksamhetsomraden/Gynekologi-och-reproduktionsmedicin/Forskning-Research/Uterus-transplantation-project/

A couple of teams in America (Indiana & New York, I believe) have also researched the subject.

So perhaps there is hope for the future.

Butting out now...

The world's first womb transplant happened in 1931. It resulted in organ failure and death.

actually there has already been a baby born from a transplanted uterus in sweeden
it was transplanted from mother to daughter and gave birth to a grand daughter how cute is that
