So you would like to be the mother of a little bas....... . thats ok by me, it is a fact that females of the human race are capable of producing a child without any male help, what so ever. The resulting child is in fact a carbon copy of the mother. As to god being involved, get real, I thought we were talking facts not fairies.
People wouldn`t believe you . Reason you are not proclaiming to be related to the (modern equivalent) pope. And science has advanced enough to prove any such claim you make, as wrong (or maybe right)

If a celestial body prophecied to come nearly 2000 years before the birth of your child appeared as a guide above your delivery to those chosen to bless the child then there might be something to your claim. However, an immaculate conception will never occur again as the next time the saviour comes it will be riding on the clouds.

People have doubts about the original immaculate conceptions. So no one would believe what you said. But if you are right , may be you will allow scientists and doctors to test you and show it on Discovery or some channel !! Had you not used the phrase- " If I claim..." , I would have believed you !

In Roman Catholic belief the Immaculate Conception refers to Mary. Jesus's conception in refered to as the Incarnation.
In answer to the question, not many.

You would be laughed out of town - or sent for psychiatric treatment. I am a believer, but God sent only Jesus that way. Next time Jesus comes He will come the same way as He ascended into Heaven.

It’s important to understand what the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception is and what it is not. Some people think the term refers to Christ’s conception in Mary’s womb without the intervention of a human father; but that is the Virgin Birth. Others think the Immaculate Conception means Mary was conceived "by the power of the Holy Spirit," in the way Jesus was, but that, too, is incorrect. The Immaculate Conception means that Mary, whose conception was brought about the normal way, was conceived without original sin or its stain—that’s what "immaculate" means: without stain. The essence of original sin consists in the deprivation of sanctifying grace, and its stain is a corrupt nature. Mary was preserved from these defects by God’s grace; from the first instant of her existence she was in the state of sanctifying grace and was free from the corrupt nature original sin brings.
When discussing the Immaculate Conception, an implicit reference may be found in the angel’s greeting to Mary. The angel Gabriel said, "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you" (Luke 1:28). The phrase "full of grace" is a translation of the Greek word kecharitomene. It therefore expresses a characteristic quality of Mary.
The traditional translation, "full of grace," is better than the one found in many recent versions of the New Testament, which give something along the lines of "highly favored daughter." Mary was indeed a highly favored daughter of God, but the Greek implies more than that (and it never mentions the word for "daughter"). The grace given to Mary is at once permanent and of a unique kind. Kecharitomene is a perfect passive participle of charitoo, meaning "to fill or endow with grace." Since this term is in the perfect tense, it indicates that Mary was graced in the past but with continuing effects in the present. So, the grace Mary enjoyed was not a result of the angel’s visit. In fact, Catholics hold, it extended over the whole of her life, from conception onward. She was in a state of sanctifying grace from the first moment of her existence.

If you had no contact with a male, even fully clothed dry-humping, and through all sorts of tests and examinations..... maybe. But that's a longshot if you could pull it off.

You don't know what Immaculate Conception is. You're mistaking it for the virgin birth. Immaculate conception is the belief that Mary was born without original sin.

I'd believe you, because I can't see a man coming within a hundred yards of you.
