A California transgender teen who dreams of becoming a dad froze his eggs so he can one day have biological children.
Cole Carman is one of the first transgender teenagers to undergo fertility treatment and egg harvesting before transitioning genders, his doctor said.
"I have always wanted kids," the 18-year-old from San Francisco told NBC Bay Area. "I like kids, so I wanted to do it so I could have my own biological kids when I get older. Eight to 10 years from now, I want them to be related to me."
Carman's doctor Aimee Eyvazzadeh harvested 40 eggs from Carman's ovaries in May. Twenty-three of them have been frozen, so he can use them in the future.
The soon-to-be college freshman, who was adopted when he was 5 weeks old, was likely to have more success in fertility treatment if he did it before starting hormone therapy, Eyvazzadeh said, adding that she has worked with older transgender men in the past to try to harvest eggs after they have transitioned.
"If the ovaries have shut down, then it is really hard to wake them up after years of testosterone use, so you are not going to get as many eggs as you would before you transitioned," Eyvazzadeh said.
That made the decision to start fertility treatment now a no-brainer, Carman said. His parents helped him pay for the $13,000 treatment.
"Who doesn't want children that are part of them?" mom C.J. said. "My husband and I could never have children so I understand how that feels."

Is she going to fertilize them with her own sperm after she becomes a man? Oh wait, that’s impossible.
Caitlyn Jenner is available, at least for now....
Jenner IS both. He still has me genitalia, with “female” breasts. Did he do this so he can narcissistically copulate his own self?
me genitalia = male genitalia
What a selfish person.
I’m sure he wants everyone to accept him as a man instead of a woman, but he won’t accept a non biological child as equal to his biological child??????????
Hypocrisy.
Enough of these perversions promoted by the left. Just because anyone can claim a gemder preference. Unless their body parts change with it. As with discharges of eggs from a male body part, and sperm from a female body part, that validates such a claim . Otherwise that assertion should be dismissed as a mental disorder and treated as such .
The same applies to this perverted idealization of marriage which destroys the concept of family . If Our Creator wanted mankind to procreate like animals wouldn’t God have willed the act be performed using the same method instead of intimacy facing each other ?
The parents need to be charged with child abuse.
Instead, they’d have been charged with abuse if they tried to get their daughter therapy to help her accept the fact - the unalterable fact - that she is female.
Still I have never seen this happen without the parents playing a big part in the delusion.
I agree.
“You are being too sensitive....”
Nope. I see this crap a lot from FReepers
who should know better.
“I didn’t say all, now didn’t I?”
Nope. But since you didn’t qualify your
comment then it sure looks like a blanket
statement to me.
So you’re holding California conservatives
responsible for the ills of the state. OK, I
hold you responsible for the twice elected
Barack Obama and whatever elected lefties
you have in whatever state you call home.
That Californians made fun of your state is
sad. I hope you stuck up for your state like
I am doing for mine. You must have lived in
a liberal part of California. I do believe you
are wise enough to have modified your post if you
had lived in the flyover portion of the state.
You put words in people’s mouths that they didn’t say and then you get upset with them for it. It is impossible for me to debate against something I did not say.
I can live with teasing about my state. I thought it was funny.
I neither blame nor credit conservatives for the state of California. The fact that you are not winning or making much of a difference is self evident. By all means keep trying. Never give up. But you are losing right now, if you hadn’t noticed.
There are liberals in my state but they are still largely in the losing category. I am thankful for that. Does that make me better than you? No. I get one vote; you get one vote. It does make me luckier than you, in my opinion anyway.
“You put words in people’s mouths that they didn’t say...
No, I did no such thing. It is not my job to try
to figure out if you mean to include me and all my
conservative California friends. It is the poster’s
responsibility to be clear about his/her position.
Some posters blurt out all sorts of crap about
Californians when all they know is what the MSM
wants them to know. The enemy is not California or
Californians, it is liberalism. Why people feel the
need to put an address on liberalism is beyond me.
The sickness knows no state boundaries.
We certainly don’t need to be reminded who is
in control of this state. Some of us would like
to split off and start a new state, in fact.
I am happy for you that liberals do not run your
state. It used to be that way here too but we were
flooded by liberals from elsewhere. Would you like
us to send your state’s liberals back to you? Didn’t
think so.
Tremendous comment. I self-identify as a Pizza Hut meat lover’s pie and I will consume myself. I wonder what Freud would say about that.
Yes, the post-surgery rate is what I was referring to. It is, as you say, much higher.
I want to say “three times as high,” but that could be a misremember.
Yes, three times higher is what I recall as well.
