Read this insane story I found on boingboing - a girl with no vagina gets pregnant by being stabbed after fellatio.

Phew - quick, someone, a cold sponge on the back of my neck!

But I have a question. If she has no vagina, what would happen during/after her period?

Also looks like it could be a hoax - according to some of the comments it bears too great a similarity to http://www.snopes.com/pregnant/bullet.asp

Thoughts?

Corresponding with the congenital problem of Vaginal atresiaWP is (usually) the lack of, or an underdeveloped, uterus. It is usually the lack of mentration during the teen years that the condition is diagnosed.

Lacking a uterus would make it extremely difficult to become pregnant, I would think.

A conflation of stories, perhaps.
 
While it may or may not be a hoax, the story is based on nothing more than a letter from a
DOUWE A. A. VERKUYL Arts, DMO 1
1 Mafeteng Districts Hospital, Mafeteng, Lesotho
Correspondence: D. A. A. Verkuyl, MRCOG, Consultant in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, United Bulawayo Hospitals, PO Box 958, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe

The letter was written in 1988 so I'm not sure why it is showing up in a blog now, but that's unimportant.

I have seen all sorts of bizarre medical reports from 3rd world countries and some of them, whether being told by a physician or not, are too seriously bizarre to be true. One, for example, claimed a woman gave birth to a frog. Granted it was only a news report and not vetted by a science journal, but it was nonetheless supposedly a report from the physician.

So one should take this story with a grain of salt. It may be possible this occurred. But it is far from certain it occurred just because the BJOG published this letter in 1988.

This story showed up on Scienceblogs today with the byline "Inconceivable but true."

First thing I thought:

Inconceivable.

You keep using that word.

I do not think it means what you think it means...
