Actually, very very few female-to-male transgenders have "bottom" surgery. Basically, "bottom surgery," which would involve a hysterectomy and reconstruction to create a penis, is both expensive and kind of useless (the resulting penis is usually only 2-3 inches long, and you still have to sit down to pee). So, chances are Tom has everything that other women have below the belt. Taking testosterone halted the periods and increased libido. So, once the hormone therapy ended, periods probably came back and it was possible to conceive.
I'm sorry, you just can't switch back whenever it's convenient for you. Isn't this why people going through gender reassignment go through years of therapy before a doctor signs the papers approving the actual surgeries?
