Like it releases certain chemicals that sort of say come hither to the sperm and there's changes to temperature and the flow of fluid in the body that can help guide sperm to the egg.

But all of that stuff tends to happen when you're already pretty close to the target.

It's not kicking in up in the stomach.

No, no, no, no.

Which takes us to the final rather unbelievable part of the story, which is the egg.

What's very curious about what happened here is that we don't think that this young woman ever had a menstrual period before.

Hmm.

Because without a vagina, there'd be no hole for the blood to escape into.

And so if she had released an egg and this blood was coming down...

The body really doesn't like blood in places it shouldn't be, sort of.

And so if it was pooling there, it would have caused her a lot of pain and she would have had to go to probably the hospital to deal with it.

And plus, when they opened her up to deliver the baby, they would have seen blood from past periods and they didn't.

Here's Neil.

Yes.

And by the way...

The baby was born healthy.

Here's the deal.

Yeah, and look, we reached out to the doctor who wrote the case report several times, but we didn't hear back.

He's now retired.

We also asked a bunch of other doctors what they made of this report because it is so wild.
