A 29- year- old lady has revealed why she
got pregnant without sleeping with a
man .
The Canadian , who gave only her first
name as Lauren, revealed that she doesn’ t
care much about dating any man .
She also revealed that she grew up with a
gland disorder that affects her body ’ s
hormone production . This made her to
seek a sperm donor and eventually
become a single mum — against the
advice of doctors and friends.
“ I was born with hypopituitarism , which
means my pituitary gland is not formed
properly.
“ It doesn’ t send the right hormonal
messages to the other glands in the body ,
like the adrenaline gland or the ovaries .
Because of that , I have to take hormone
replacements to develop necessary areas
of my body .
“ I’ ve had it under control now for 29
years, so it ’s not an issue now . But it was
very obviously different because I was
taking thyroid pills and taking a needle
of growth hormones every day.
“ Because of my pituitary gland , I went
through puberty super late. I wouldn’ t
have gone through it at all without
higher oestrogen levels.
“ I really only started that because I was
getting made fun of for being really flat
chested , whereas everybody else was
getting their boobs and everything at that
point.
“ The hardest thing was probably getting
pregnant . Initially, my endocrinologist
said it wouldn’ t happen; that I ’ll need to
get an egg donor and spend tens of
thousands of dollars on IVF. I felt really
shut down. But he referred me to a
fertility clinic anyway .
“ I spent an entire year on a waiting list
thinking it was never going to happen
and then after a five-minute appointment
with a fertility expert, everything
changed,” Lauren explains.
She confessed that she dated “here and
there” up until last December; and even
had a boyfriend she tried to be intimate
with , but that they both concluded it
wasn’ t working and broke off before sex
could happen.
Lauren , whose baby is due in June said ,
“ Since I’ ve been pregnant , there have
been a few times where I’ ve felt like
maybe it would be nice to go out and
have sex , but that feeling very quickly
passes — I realise I ’m not acting like
myself.”
