YES THERE IS A DOCUMENTED VIRGIN BIRTH
–“Is there an actual confirmed/documented case of parthenogenesis (virgin birth) in humans?”–

Well, we assumed it wasn’t possible, and we weren’t looking for it. And it’s only recently that the possibility’s been accepted. So far, like most things, we only know of it by outliers instead of otherwise normal children. So we know it’s possible but until there is widespread genetic testing of otherwise ordinary appearing babies we won’t be able to measure the frequency.
I suspect it’s rare but not THAT rare, especially for girls.

HERE:
There is one documented case of a natural half-parthenogenetic birth: In 1995, British geneticists reported the remarkable case of a young boy whose body is derived in part from an unfertilized egg.
This boy, referred to as FD, has some unique genetic features:
White Blood Cells: FD’s white blood cells contain two X chromosomes, which is the chromosomal signature of a female. However, they lack any Y chromosome material, which is typically present in males.
Skin vs. Blood: Interestingly, FD’s skin is genetically different from his blood. His skin contains the normal X and Y chromosomes of a typical male.
Identical X Chromosomes: In both his skin and blood cells, FD’s X chromosomes are identical and derived entirely from his mother.
The researchers believe that FD’s development began when an unfertilized egg self-activated and started dividing.
This extraordinary case provides a rare glimpse into the control of human development and the evolutionary changes that made sex essential for mammalian reproduction.
