Virgin pregnancies: What are they?

According to the website Health.com, virgin pregnancies are a thing. What is more surprising is that several women claim they got pregnant even without having sex.

Researchers say that this claim can be accounted for several factors. Some of these include chastity pledges or family issues.

Experts answer: Can you get pregnant without having sex?

Experts say that the answer to the question, "Can you get pregnant without having sex?" is YES!

Women can undergo procedures like intrauterine insemination or in vitro fertilization.

Also, virgin pregnancies can be a thing. According to health experts, "This can happen when sperm get into the vagina-by having semen or pre-ejaculate on the fingers and close contact with the vagina."

Experts add that sperm only needs to find its way up to the cervix and find a fertile egg.
