Why do you think any of your offspring would come out anything like your nephew? That's ridiculous: genes aren't destiny.
I don't know if such desires last from one incarnation to the next. It's clear that after having an emotionally draining and confidence-robbing experience trying to be a parent three incarnations ago, I never had kids in any of the most recent incarnations. So I may have needed/wanted a break and chose ahead of each incarnation that I wouldn't become a parent (either biologically or adoptively).
On the other hand, neither my sister nor I ever had that biological clock go off, so it may be biological, too: part genetic and part environmental. Like, you might never have had the desire arise if it hadn't been for the estrogen. But my sister and I have plenty of estrogen and we just didn't inherent that gene (or gene combination).
As for where and when you might someday get to be a parent, don't worry, I'm fairly certain you won't ever end up doing it within the confines of the Mormon heaven. 😌
