At 16, a girl in the United Kingdom learned she had been born with a uterus but no cervix and no vagina. For decades, the standard advice for that combination was to remove the uterus. Her family chose a different path, and 23 years later she became pregnant without fertility treatment.
The case, reported by J.A. Tamblyn, S. Salahuddin, L.C. Morley and A.H. Balen in the journal Human Fertility in early 2026, adds to a small record of pregnancies after fertility-sparing surgery for complete cervical and vaginal agenesis.
