A married couple in Portland — Trystan and his husband Biff — are expecting a new baby this summer, after suffering a miscarriage in 2016. The couple, who are already dads to two very cute kids they adopted, recently talked all about trying to get pregnant, fear of another miscarriage, and breaking the good news to family members on the WNYC podcast, the Longest Shortest Time.

Trystan is transgender, and after becoming pregnant for the first time in 2016, unfortunately endured a miscarriage just before a six-week ultrasound appointment. Biff, rattled by the miscarriage, wanted to wait a year before trying for another baby. But as Trystan mentioned on the podcast, waiting and then trying to become pregnant again as a trans person is tricky — it means staying off testosterone. Rather than restart and then quit testosterone, the couple decided to try again for a baby

Trystan and Biff say that, for the most part, people have been really supportive and encouraging of their growing family. At a recent doctor appointment, they learned the baby's sex is male. The couple has a joke they like to make about this new discovery. "Our baby has been diagnosed male," Trystan said jokingly. "That's my own little joke in our family — diagnosis: male."
