Nope, there is currently no possible way for a MtF who has the surgery to either have a period or reproduce and be pregnant. They are currently working on trying out womb transplants, but it is still a long way off from being viable for the public at large. Sorry, but that is how it is.

No, unfortunately, it's not possible.
I've never heard of such thing as a uterine transplant or anything like that, and while it may be possible, in fifty or a hundred years, right now it's in the realm of science fiction. It would take an amazing amount of surgical skill to attach the nerves and tubing system that would allow menstruation to properly occur, and to fix and condition it so that the female hormones that were taken orally/by injection would reach the right places to prompt menstruation to occur.
It's simply not something that happens yet, not to mention that finding transplants would be notoriously hard, and worse still with the high number of transplant rejections. Maybe it will be more feasible when we can grow female reproductive organs in laboratories to be used for that purpose.
Hope that's the information you were looking for.

Transgenders don't generally get organ transplants, they just have what they already have removed or rearranged. Transplanting a reproductive system (a period would require a uterus, fallopian tubes and at least one ovary) is probably far beyond current medical science.

I don't think that would be necessary. You can't have a period if you don't have a uterus. Why would someone want one anyways. I am female and would be to never have a period again(if it wouldn't mess me up medically that is). Ovaries wouldn't do though. It's to dangerous to. The body could reject them.

No, they can't do that. The organ transplants wouldn't work. I think it's been tried, and failed.

never ever can it be done . too much intricate working in a genetic woman to put into a non genetic woman.
