I have something to tell you... I'm pregnant

In our lifetime, transwomen should be able to have children.
I can understand your apprehension, and indeed there
are some obstacles to overcome.
(Here is one proposed technique)
The uterus, not the cervix, fallopian tubes or ovaries would
be transplanted as indicated by the illustration.

Ideally a hysterectomy performed on a close relative would
provide a viable uterus, ie, one that would be less likely to
be rejected.
Further, the transplanted uterus would only be in place long
enough for the pregnancy to complete, and then would be
removed, so that the women would not have to remain on
drugs to prevent her body from rejecting the transplant.
Also note, the arteries supporting the blood flow, thus negating
the circulatory concerns you put forth.
By the way IVF stands for, in vitro fertilization. A method of
assisted reproduction that involves combining an egg with
sperm in a laboratory dish. If the egg fertilizes and begins cell
division, the resulting embryo is transferred into the woman's
+ uterus where it will hopefully implant in the uterine lining and
further develop. IVF may be performed in conjunction with
medications that stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs
in order to increase the chances of successful fertilization and implantation.
At the current level of reproductive science, a transsexual woman,
would not be able to be impregnated in the conventional manner,
but rather would have to go this route.
Why, I can almost hear the pitter-patter, of little 'peggys' and little 'denzel's' feet.
Now, if we could only do something about the 'poopy diapers' and
his or her college tuition, we will be half way home :D
