Right.

Right, because when it exits the stomach, like you say, it's not as if the egg is just hanging around saying, hello, I'm right here.

The egg, it should be in the pelvis and the hole was in the stomach.

So we still have a Hot Wheels ride to go down.

Now, once the sperm gets out of the stomach, it moves into this liquidy space that's between the organs in the abdomen.

It's called the peritoneal cavity.

And this peritoneal cavity is actually a nicer place, we think, for the little fragile spermies to survive and thrive because the pH in the peritoneal cavity is about the same as vaginal fluid.

Ah, okay.

Which is the stuff that protects the sperm as it travels through the vagina, right?

for those who have a vagina.

Now, there have been two other case reports that we found where sperm was found in the peritoneal fluid of men, suggesting that maybe it can survive there.

And so from this peritoneal cavity, the sperm then would have had to have swum past the intestine into the pelvis and ultimately to reach the egg.

So that is one way, maybe, after the break, the final unbelievable chapter.

Welcome back.

Today on the show, how the teenager with no vagina got pregnant.

Here's where we're at based on the facts on the ground.

It looks like the only way this could have happened was that the sperm that she swallowed after giving oral to her boyfriend somehow survived the acids in her stomach, escaped the stomach through a stab wound, and then swam down the obstacle course that is her body and merged with the egg.

Unbelievable.

And by the way, we looked into this.

There are a bunch of ways that the sperm is guided towards the egg because of things that the egg is doing.
