#1 After diagnoses, this "baby bump" turned out to be more horrifying than an unwanted pregnancy.
Olivia Key, 17, was once like every standard teen: a lively one who performed sports activities and enjoyed hanging with friends. However when she was rushed to the clinic with crippling abdomen ache, medical doctors suspected that she was once merely pregnant. This was horrifying news.
#2 She Knew She Couldn't Possibly Be Pregnant As She Had Never Been Sexually Active
It turns out that her pregnancy was actually something else entirely: a tumor in her left ovary, which was surrounded by a massive cyst. Olivia began to be frightened because she was still a virgin and had never had sex before. She knew there was more to her stomach issues than the doctors could find.

#3 A Series Of Extreme Tests Were Performed Before The Final Diagnosis
Olivia said, "I have a small frame so for my stomach to be that big a lot of people thought I could be pregnant. I had blood tests, urine samples, checks to see if I had appendicitis and even to rule out whether I was pregnant." When the "pregnancy" went on for so long, and after numerous ultrasounds, she was finally diagnosed properly.
#4 Thanks To St. James Hospital, Olivia Is Totally Fine
Her tumor wasn't large but her cyst was massive and almost the size of watermelon (approx 12 inches). Olivia was lucky that no leakage from this tumor happened. Doctors drained approximately 4 liters of fluid from this cyst and abdomen area before removing the cyst through a small incision.
She is fine now and her fertility is also intact. She is now back to her daily sports routine and hiking over 7 miles each day to keep fit.
