Go forwards in time to when we can manipulate what gender our offspring can be, bring that technology back to before you were born, and change your gender to the opposite, then go back to the present.

Did that make sense? >_>

Build a time machine. Wait 10 minutes, then go back 5 minutes in time (5 minutes before you entered the machine), and destroy your time machine.
