Gloucester, January 8: A British man who fell pregnant after he used Facebook to find a sperm donor has said he is now four months pregnant and will be the “greatest dad”.
Hayden Cross, 20, said his first attempt using donor sperm had been successfull and he would continue his transition process to remove his breasts and ovaries as soon as he gives birth.
Hayden, born a girl 20 years ago, had lived as a man for three years and was taking male hormones but was desperate to have a baby.
The unemployed former Asda worker asked the NHS to freeze his eggs before he completed his full transition, in the hope he might have children years later.
But when NHRS refused to carry out the process, Hayden decided to use an anonymous sperm donor he found on Facebook and go ahead with pregnancy using local hospital maternity services.
Hayden admits that he still feel uncomfortable carrying a child and struggle with the physical changes.
“It’s a very female thing to carry a baby and it goes everything against I feel in my body”, Hayden said.
Hayden, who had school crushes on both boys and girls and whose parents split when he was 14, was initially “confused” by his feelings, but now calls himself bisexual.
