A girl who was born without a womb was told by doctors she was simply "a late bloomer".
Bailee Marie Gattis, 16, from Tishomingo in Mississippi, US, went to the doctor's when she was 15 after she was experiencing primary amenorrhea, which is the absence of menstrual bleeding.
She had also noticed that she had a shortened vaginal canal and kept it a secret from even her mum.
