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