I had my sperm frozen before gender reassignment surgery and I was just told it was thrown out

Authored by reddit.com and submitted by missjeanlouise12

I'm a MtF transgender and I had my sperm frozen at an early age before taking hormones and the subsequent surgeries. Now at age 28 I am very comfortable with my life, married to an amazing man and we are planning to have a family (my biggest dream since early childhood). It was our plan to use a surrogate mother and have her carry our 'twins', one of which would be mine biologically and the other my husbands'. So we went to the clinic that stored my sperm and they told me, after I inquired about the possibilities, that my sperm was 'thrown out' last year. Or that it was possibly misplaced or damaged. The story was vague. I was shocked, outraged and completely broke down on my way home... I didn't know what to say or do. But this really messed me up bad and throws my future plans in disarray. I'm heartbroken and I want to sue. Can I?

Am I the only one suspecting that her sperm were used on someone else? She could have a child out there.

I really don’t understand why LAOP’s response about dreams being crushed etc is so heavily downvoted. Surely it’s understandable to feel upset when you’ve just learned that you’ll never have biological children?

I’m not doubting the advice given, as I’ve no idea whether it’s correct or not, but this is a case where I hope it’s wrong.
