Transgender Man and Wife Expect First Baby Using His Frozen Eggs and Her Womb

A transgender man and his wife are preparing to welcome their first child together after an IVF journey that allowed them to use his frozen eggs and her womb to build their family.

Taylor Winters, 42, and his wife, Chloe, 33, live in Watford, Hertfordshire, England. Their baby girl is expected in January 2027 after the couple underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF) using eggs Taylor froze before beginning his medical transition and sperm from a donor.

Taylor said he had wanted biological children but had never imagined carrying a pregnancy himself. Before starting testosterone treatment in November 2017, he chose to freeze his eggs so he could preserve the possibility of having biological children in the future.

The couple began their IVF journey in February 2026. Their first embryo transfer in March was unsuccessful, leaving them disappointed. Determined to continue, they tried again, and a second transfer in May resulted in a pregnancy.

Chloe described the process as emotionally challenging, particularly the wait to discover whether the treatment had worked. The couple were overjoyed when they learned they were expecting.

Taylor grew up in Romania and has said he knew he was a boy from an early age. After moving to the United Kingdom, he began transitioning, later undergoing chest surgery in 2019 and a hysterectomy in November 2023.

The couple said they hope to have another child in the future, this time using Chloe’s eggs and the same sperm donor. That would give each partner a biological connection to one of their children.

Now 24 weeks pregnant at the time of the report, Chloe said the pregnancy had been progressing well. The couple have been documenting the changes and attending scans as they prepare for parenthood.

They also emphasized their hopes of creating a loving, supportive home for their children, saying they want their family to be accepted for who they are.

Their story highlights how fertility preservation and assisted reproductive technology can create different paths to biological parenthood for couples with diverse family circumstances.
