Thank you for bringing that up! While it’s assumed that most people who are pregnant had sex with someone with a penis, that is not always the case. There are ways to introduce a sperm cell, which are created by people with penises to egg cells, which are created by people with vaginas, to each other in ways that differ from what is usually taught. To conceive in this way people will enlist the help of doctors to retrieve cells from one or both parties, and then introduce them to each other in a way that does not require sexual intercourse. These pregnancies still usually last 9 months if there are no complications.
