Just to clarify, a couple of points you raised, the University of Pennsylvania here in the states has done 55 uterine transplants on women with defective uteruses. That has allowed them to bear children. I don’t know if the pregnancies were created by ovulation of their ovaries, or whether they were embryo transplants. Either way it has been proven to work.

You raise an interesting point. Since it would be possible for me to get a functional uterus, in vitro fertilization might be a possibility. Now you have me thinking. I would love to bear a child, and I would not want a cesarean, unless it were medically necessary. I have fairly wide hips and could deliver the natural way. Many complain about the pain, but to me, it is just part of the experience of being a woman. I would actually look forward to it.

To clarify regarding dilating, the cervix is the opening of the uterus, which is at the far end of the vagina. When sperm is deposited there, it finds its way through the cervix into the uterus. That is where fertilization takes place. At the moment I don’t have a cervix because it is part of the uterus. When I dilate, I use plastic dilators, which I insert into my vagina and keep constant pressure on to make sure that it fills the full depth of my vagina. I use increasingly larger sizes to keep the width open far enough as well. It is nice to be tight, but I want to make sure a man can find his way in. So dilating is for the vagina, not the cervix
