@gibby2980 Hasn't even entered my head. That would screw with my head more than coming off hormones. I identify solely as male and couldn't bring myself to do it. I'm pretty sure Stacy's womb will do it's job, so I have no need to, thankfully :)
@BlueZephyrTG Yeah, the NHS has taken over my transition completely. I'm not going to be having it for the next two years unless there are any serious problems. It'll give us a bit longer to think and I'll be able to be a non angry human being while I'm settling into a new job. I can't handle too much stuff at the moment. My eggs could still be fine after 9 or 10 years. I'm just hoping everything's alright with my insides!
ADOPT! Well, if Stacey really wants to carry then your egg would be wicked cool but adopt the 2nd one. There are WAY too many babies w/o families to be making more. But that's just me. :) And I respect that I can't make that choice for others. You guys are super cute - good to see an update!
@Popeslave I know yeah, I agree. I'd love to give a kid a home. I guess it can get complicated though, once they want to know who their real parents are.. assuming they do! Thanks man, she makes me a happy bunny, haha. Hope you're well!
@gebus84 It can be complicated. I would always tell the kid though and let them contact their biological parents if they wanted to and were able to. But also raise them to know that we make our own family, it's not just determined by blood. My oldest sister is adopted and we are just as close as our biological sister. *shrugs* every family is different though. But best of luck no matter what!!!
Hey m8 were waiting to c if the pct will allow us a free go of ivf for my girlfriend I personally dnt think am gnu free eggs up but am not planning a hysto yet so I dunno I mite change my mind .....if we dnt get the free go were gonna fund it our selves u cam pick donor criteria to suit u so its possible to pik a donor with ur characteristics n obis my gf will carry ....good luk
@samual81ftm Thanks for the info mate :) We're exploring all possible avenues! Just wish I wasn't so bothered about the child being mine. Other people manage without being blood related. Maybe I'll get over it in time. Good luck with everything :)
@gebus84 haha well mood swings.. Yesa but i was mostly grying to be honest:P yeah i dont know, wouldent u be totaly whithout hormones then? i heard thats really tuff :( talk with ur dr and read much:)
Another possibility is freezing parts of your ovaries - that way you don't have to go off T (I think). In the future it might be possible to harvest eggs from them. Though freezing embryos is probably the safest option, but they don't last too long I believe. The success rate for frozen eggs is lower than for embryos, but the eggs last longer.
Read about female sperm like Lyohz was saying - pretty exciting. I didn't want kids but now that option is there it made me more interested. If you type 'female sperm' in Google there is an article on it on The Telegraph, Dylan :) ...
@matttie18 It is very exciting! I'd love it if I could do it that way. We'd both love it :) I'll check out the article now.. cheers mate! Hope you're ok.
Scientists have created sperm from bone marrow as well as from the female embryo. Testing isn't finished, but by 2013 there may be a good chance of success. Just throwing that out there.
Whatever you choose I wish you luck ^^
