The replies in this post is precisely why we need better sex ed.
There's an astounding number of people who aren't aware about PCOS or IBS and think that the woman in the ad is actually stupid for taking a pregnancy test.
I have both, and my doctor had to give me an hGC test to rule out pregnancy because my abdomen was as bloated as the woman in the picture.
Neither of these conditions are rare, and either one can cause bloating and swelling, often chronically, to this degree.
It's not exactly the same box, I found one that looked like this, but it was in Greek. Though it's unlikely someone would call a pregnancy test and gender test using the same product name.
Yes. PCOS causes hormonal imbalances in that lead to bloating, abnormal amounts of abdominal fat, cramps. The cherry on top is having IBS at the same time.
Everything combined stretches my stomach to the point where my skin hurts. When I consulted my doctor about it, she had to do an hCG test to be sure that I wasn't pregnant.
I know someone who had uterine fibroids. It didn't really bother her otherwise, so she just let them be, until people started congratulating her on being pregnant. (Then she had them removed.)
