I am really looking forward to the Grans Reveal
If Barbara and her daughter used to be men where did the husband come from?
Ah! I see...
Think you may have misread my story.
Samantha
Those two were given the bracelets to become different women,
Wendy Jean, to escape Barbara's terrible mistake of a husband.

Nice twist
Nice happy little twist at the end there. A rather good idea as a matter of fact, even with the budding relationship starting last chapter, didn't see it coming.
Solutions
Terry has always been very methodical about the whole situation and his and Barbara's suggestions make lots of sense.
They're Going To Need Help...
... with the bureaucratic nightmare that changing identities is going to cause with the sperm bank!
Luckily, it seems they have a friend who can "work magic." LOL
Oh, and while we're musing... While it's theoretically possible for them to be impregnated themselves later with their own frozen sperm, it's probably an awful idea for ethical and genetic reasons. Besides, sperm banks have lots of other donors, if they're so inclined.
Who sais,
that Roberta would impregnate herelf with her former self's sperm? It would be Barbara and in the case of Fiona it would be Christine. No objections posssible in either case. IIt would all be completely above board, wouldn't it?

Interesting story
I missed the earlier parts when they came out so I just got to read everything at once.
Regression is needed
That ex needs to find a new life as well, maybe as a teen girl who has no memory of Barbara or Christine. Or maybe a four footed creature with no memory of ever being human. Or, pushed off a short plank over a deep canyon. He's to vicious to be left as he is, to sneaky. Guess a hitman would be out of the question, unless it happened to be a setup which gets him jailed permanently.
Needing someone in her life after what that pig has done, and doing, someone who is like Terry can only help her. And yet unless the four start completely fresh that pig will always be a problem. With the fresh start they're being offered that pig wouldn't recognize any of them.
One thing that's slowly being recognized is how comfortable Barbara is with Terry, or she wouldn't have climbed into bed with him. And then her suggestion about freezing sperm shows she wants to stay with Terry, even though she is frightened of the prospect of a new start.
Others have feelings too.
I Suppose We Don't Know...
...one way or the other, but:all changes so far have been voluntary, which suggests that either the "laws" or the changers' ethics may not allow for using them as punishment. It ought to have been easier, after all, to take care of the husband than to change the two victims, if that was the objective and it could be done without requiring permission.
Mr Harcourt talks about some prospective recipients that "require shall we say, a lot of gentle nudging in the right direction. You on the other-hand require virtually none of that.” The implication seems to be that the recipient needs to approve the change. (And it's probably not as simple a matter as putting on a ring, which could be done innocently. The ring seemed in at least one sense to be a symbolic thing, since Mr Harcourt was able to tack on an extra month to Roberta and Fiona's deadline without doing anything to it physically.)
I think I'm going to come out and say what I intimated a couple of chapters ago: we know what metaphysical being allegedly offers changes like these to give people a desirable short-term outcome, all with his own long-term objective in mind. Mr Harcourt hasn't actually asked for their immortal souls in return, but I don't think we can be sure that altruism is what's really going on here.

Yes
Lucky are we who live in a world where sperm (and eggs) can be frozen with future stuff in mind. The option is a godsend for hundreds of couples.
