Woman Perplexed When Her Toilet Seat Turned Purple, Pregnancy Revelation Followed
NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. — What started as a strange bathroom mystery during the early days of COVID lockdown turned into the first clue of an unexpected pregnancy for one New York woman.
Purple Toilet Seat Raises Questions
In early 2020, Naginah Gogolli noticed her white toilet seat mysteriously turning purple, despite constant scrubbing and no clear explanation. At first, she blamed low-quality clothing dyes. “We cleaned it several times a day after it never came off,” she recalled, laughing at her initial frustration.
Family visiting during lockdown quickly speculated the cause. Gogolli’s sister was convinced she was pregnant — even though Naginah insisted it was impossible at the time.
Symptoms and Online Clues
The mystery deepened when purple stains appeared not only on the toilet but also on a nearby sink where her skin touched. That same day, her husband began researching online and discovered that some women had reported similar cases during pregnancy.
Still skeptical, Gogolli dismissed the idea until nausea hit suddenly. “Immediately I run to my purple toilet seat and I’m just puking my brains out,” she said. A pregnancy test days later confirmed what her sister had guessed all along.
Viral TikTok and Medical Curiosity
@.naginah 2020 was a wild year, had to buy a new toilet seat😂 #pregnancy #pregnancyjourney #rare #pregnanttiktok #fyp
Her TikTok video documenting the strange purple toilet seat went viral, with other women commenting they had experienced the same phenomenon. While her doctor had never heard of the condition, experts note that pregnancy hormones or rare conditions like Chromhidrosis could play a role. Gogolli found validation in hearing from strangers online who shared their similar experiences.
A Miraculous Yet Challenging Journey
Her pregnancy, however, was far from easy. At 20 weeks, doctors diagnosed her unborn son with a rare congenital heart block, a defect that left his survival uncertain. Against the odds, he was born healthy enough to avoid immediate surgery. “The fact that he’s even alive is such a blessing,” she said. Nearly five years later, he continues to thrive, though doctors say he will eventually need a pacemaker.
A Sign She’ll Never Forget
Looking back, Gogolli believes the purple toilet seat was more than just a medical oddity. “I definitely think it was a spiritual sign for me,” she said. The experience not only went viral but also changed her view of motherhood and intuition. “Your body is always telling you something,” she explained.
