So what? Men have been pregnant before. It's just a case of a mixed up lab result- which is terrible, of course. However if a cis woman got those results it wouldn't warrant an article.
The fact that the office sent out that letter just means they are trans* inclusive in their screw ups.
I've had labels put on my medication by the pharmacy that have advised me not to take it while breastfeeding, and to alert my doctor if it caused irregular periods. I just smiled at the pharmacist and said "that really WOULD be irregular..."
It's like the Great Spam Mystery in our house, in which my husband gets all the emails trying to sell him breast enlargement products, and I get all the emails trying to sell me products that either increase the size of my penis or increase the volume of my semen. I pride myself on having fooled not only my husband but numerous doctors, including several OBGYNs, into thinking I am a woman. Apparently I am a man who has borne (and breastfed) four children. Awesome, huh?
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

He wound up pregnant from medical treatment? Malpractice! Probably rape, also.
I once got a letter for my results after my annual pap, stating everything was normal and I don't have prostate cancer.
