      Hi @lidivampire
      I’m not 100% sure, I think it’s possible to have a womb transplant.
      If you don’t have a womb, it means you can’t have babies yourself. However, if you still have ovaries you could have them used to create a foetus which could then grow inside another woman (called a surrogate mother), so you could still have a baby.

      On the plus side, if you don’t have a womb you won’t have periods either.

      Hope this answers your question.
