I have conflicting feelings about this. usually in fanfiction it's handled terribly, as you've mentioned. But then it is a biological fact that [some] trans men can get pregnant, and every now and then they do. There was this one guy in the news maybe ten years or so ago whose wife was unable to bear children but they really wanted kids, so he got pregnant via a donor and there you have it, mpreg for the lurid press and a healthy daughter for the family, everyone is happy. I think this particular guy is an exception, though. Most trans men I know wouldn't even consider pregnancy.
For myself, getting pregnant would be kind of an ultimate betrayal of everything I've worked so hard to achieve. To save my sanity, I avoid thinking about the fact that I'm biologically capable of bearing children, and I just tell myself that I'm physically incapable of fathering children. I see adoption in my future and I've come to terms with this.

Mpreg in fanfic, if it's by means of a trans character or otherwise, squicks me out because it's a little too personal.
