After doctors told his female partner she could not have any more children, Coronado interrupted his sex-change procedure in order to get pregnant through artificial insemination.

And in March he announced he was expecting twin boys in September.

“I started having a few problems this week,” El Mundo today quoted him as saying. “There were days when my belly was a little low and I was surprised. I went to the doctor and I had to undergo a surgical scrapping.”

Coronado had planned to complete the sex-change procedure after the birth of the twins, but is now forced to wait while he tries again to get pregnant.

A law that went into effect last year allows Spaniards suffering from “a sexual identity problem” and undergoing hormonal or endocrinal treatment to change their sexual status without undergoing surgery or a sex change.
