We have all heard of IVF pregnancy, surrogate mothers, adopted children, genetically modified pregnancies but physicians and scientists from RYT Hospital claim to have made a viable technique for the successful impregnation of male individuals. Lee Mingwei is claimed to be the first human being to attempt this procedure and now has a healthy fetus developing in his abdominal cavity.

According to malepregnancy.com, the scientists at the RYT's Dwayne Medical Center administered oral doses of female hormones to Lee to make him receptive to the pregnancy. IVF techniques were used to induce an ectopic pregnancy by implanting an embryo and placenta into the abdominal cavity, just under or into the peritoneum (the surrounding lining).

Once implantation was complete, Lee stopped taking hormones, because the pregnancy itself, as expected, took over. The embryo secretes sufficient hormones to maintain its own growth and development.

However, many doctors are claiming it to be a hoax with no truth but the website claims that the cesarean section surgery would be needed to take the baby out. The duration of the pregnancy has been surprisingly normal, i.e. fetal heart monitoring, chorionic villus sampling, ultrasound scanning as per the doctors.

According to online encyclopedia Wikipedia, male pregnancy is the carrying of one or more embryos or fetuses by the male of any species inside their bodies. The majority of all pregnancies in the animal kingdom are carried by the female.

In most heterogamous species, the males produce the spermatazoa and rarely host the zygote. However, examples of male pregnancy can be found in the animal kingdom, in mythology, and popular culture.
