Onetime woman, he’s now a man, who says that he is five months pregnant. Well, it’s not a fictitious, but a real amazing story from Oregon. According to gay rights magazine, “The Advocate”, Thomas Beatie, an Oregon transgendered man, who used to be a woman, says that he is five months pregnant.

The Advocate is national magazine for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender readers. Thomas Beatie, the Oregon resident, tells his story in a first-person account published in the magazine that also includes a picture of him while he is 22 weeks pregnant.

Beatie, who was born a woman named Tracy Lagondino, reveals that he went thru reassignment surgery to appear as a man outwardly, but he never surgically altered his reproductive organs. He says that he went through a sex change but reconstructed only his chest and had testosterone therapy. He kept his female reproductive organs and became pregnant through artificial insemination. Now, Beatie claims that he's expecting a girl; the baby is due July 3.

Legally a male, who lives with his wife, Nancy, Beatie says that he and his wife Nancy decided to have a baby, but when the latter went through a hysterectomy due to severe endometriosis 20 years ago, they came up with the idea that Thomas should carry their child.

Beatie claims that he stopped taking his testosterone injections to get pregnant. In his story in the gay and lesbian magazine, Beatie writes, "Sterilization is not a requirement for sex reassignment, so I decided to have chest reconstruction and testosterone therapy, but kept my reproductive rights."

"I stopped taking my bimonthly testosterone injections. It had been roughly eight years since I had my last menstrual cycle, so this wasn’t a decision that I took lightly," Beatie says in the article.

"My body regulated itself after about four months, and I didn’t have to take any exogenous estrogen, progesterone, or fertility drugs to aid my pregnancy," he says.

Calling the experience of carrying the pregnancy for his wife, "incredible", Beatie says that it’s not a first for him. He is now at his second pregnancy after he went through an ectopic pregnancy with triplets. "How does it feel to be a pregnant man? Incredible," he exclaims. "Despite the fact that my belly is growing with a new life inside me, I am stable and confident being the man that I am," he says.

In the article, he describes his first pregnancy as a “life-threatening event” because it required surgical intervention. He lost all his embryos and his right fallopian tube in the intervention.

Beatie admitted the fact that he and his wife are facing the wrath of some people including doctors, health care professionals, receptionalists, friends and family members, who feel offended by their decision. Explaining that his wife is unable to conceive, Beatie says, "I am so lucky to have such a loving, supportive wife Nancy, I am her husband carrying our child. I will be my daughter's father, and Nancy will be her mother. We will be a family."

On "Good Morning America" today, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center obstetrician Dr. Lisa Masterson said, “Beatie's case, while uncommon, is not unique. Another transgender man has given birth before.” She said, "A transgender man can be pregnant because he has the same organs as a woman."

However, “It's really important that he doesn't take any testosterone early on in the pregnancy and later on. That can cause male-type characteristics in the female baby," she said.

Usually, transgender men use testosterone to gain more masculine qualities. The article says he stopped getting injections and was able to get pregnant.
