I was not sure where to put this question so I placed it here.


This question has been on my mind for a long time and still is.

Let's say science figures out a way to completely engineer a uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries would you ever consider getting pregnant?

I had this question on my mind for a long time. I think about it daily. I don't think I would want a son or daughter but I would consider Surrogacy.

If I had the chance I would do that.

Right now for me, it's clearly not an option but still in the future...

I totally would love to if it was physically and medically possible I would love to experience that i would volunteer for the first one to be done 

I'm too old and my wife couldn't complete the deed.

I wish I had a uterus (cervix etc), not interested in pregnant.

Interestingly enough I was reading an article just about this the other day.  With a donor uterus it is possible for a male to get pregnant but the delivery would have to be via c section. But it was mentioned that any donor uterus would go to a cis female first.

But to answer your question at this stage in my life, no I would not consider it.  Maybe 20 years ago when I was younger I would have done it in a heart beat just to help my wife out more.

If I were around 20 again and it were possible then you bet! There was a time in my life when the want/ need to have a baby would work its way from my subconscious at night. I would awaken crying because I knew it was not possible. I'd have to convince myself that I wasn't supposed to have feelings like those so I could go back to sleep. For years seeing a mom with her kids killed me on the inside.

Even when I was of child-bearing age, I didn't want kids, and that has not changed.  Can you imagine dealing with a teen-ager in your late 70s?  Nope, no way!

I was just thinking that I am the same age my mother was when I was born and I'm not even on HRT yet and I have practically zero chance to get pregnant anytime soon as it stands now.
And even if I could give birth to a child in the next few years I would be a terrible mother probably because I'm just starting to live my life and I wouldn't have the patience nor the energy to care for a newborn.
I would love to be pregnant and give birth the natural way and it makes me incredibly sad that even if it will be possible somehow in the future I will be way too old by that time.

Opposite! If science could give me testicles with my own genetic sperm I would be thrilled....I'd much rather have children of my own flesh and blood. As awful as that sounds.

I read that the body would reject it after 1 or 2 babies and it would have to be removed.. sounds expensive on top SRS and FFS

Rejection isn't a sure thing but people underestimate the problems associated with anti rejection drugs. Some of them can cause anger issues, others can cause weight gain and all make you sensitive to just about any bug that comes along. I spent years around a guy who was on anti rejection drugs and I had to take extreme caution not to spread anything I caught to him. Probably didn't matter much because he liked to circulate around others who weren't aware of his status so he caught the bugs elsewhere.

Now consider the fact that these drugs would also have the same or worst effects on the developing child. We are cautious about exposing developing children to alcohol, tobacco and other medications. Anti rejections drugs are worst and many are related to steroids. Not something you want to expose an unborn child to.

I read that same article, I would do anything to become pregnant🤰 Unfortunately I'm too old for me to be considered.  I've heard your mother could donate everything they need with a less chance of rejection.
Sigh, Jessica 🤷‍♀️

I like the sound of being a biological mother, but Im one for the argument that being able to have a baby doesn't mean you should.

What i mean by this is. Their is more to parenting then, maternity and paternity. Mothering and fathering are life long responsibilities. And the roll of parent is something i do desire, How i get that roll inst as important to me. There are so many children without parents worthy of the word, and some without parents of any kind.

I think I'll adopt. Ill be the parent a child deserves. A parent a child wouldn't of had, even as they are the child I couldn't of had. (And if and when I sort enough of my life out to get to this point) Ill start the whole new challenge or Parenthood.

While I'd love to have all the correct plumbing, I have never wanted children. Especially not my own - It's better that I don't pass my family's messed up genes on.

Not awful. I would like to be a father too. In my family, the men tend to build the kids up; the women tend to tear them down. Multi-generational thing for us. Even though I'm technically kind of old for kids, I would still try to have one, if I had the right stuff to do it, and the money for a surrogate. I'd be able to give them a decent life. Probably they'd turn out okay.

I would love to. As someone said, there's a lot more on being a parent than pregnancy, but no one can ever deny that mother/father (trans man) and baby have such specific and beautiful sensations during pregnancy.

But I'm quite suspicious to talk about that, I am fascinated by pregnancy ever since... Always? Hahahah I'm in med school and I really se myself as an ObGyn, by the way.
