A 23-year-old lesbian woman, fearing a positive pregnancy test, sought help on Reddit. Despite limited sexual activity, she vomited occasionally before discovering the pregnancy. Medical confusion ensued, suspecting cancer or assault. An ultrasound and blood work hinted at a tumor causing elevated hormones. Surgery removed an ovary with an immature teratoma tumor. Clarification later revealed it was a teratoma with unclear maturity. The tumor likely caused vomiting, and its removal wasn’t life-threatening. Despite ongoing tests for cancer and pregnancy, the woman appreciated Reddit’s support.
It’s a bizarre and bewildering journey, but it’s reassuring that she isn’t pregnant. She navigated the confusing situation with support from Reddit users and medical professionals, with her parents by her side.
