I strongly disagree with your friend.  Only the symptoms you mention
refer to a possible pregnancy. Nothing else in the story points to this
scenario.  Why can't readers accept  that her spiritual angst promts her
fainting and vomiting? For those in just such a crises--those who are
fed up with section-men and loathsome little frat toads like Lane--those
who feel like lone pilgrims looking for hope among the chaos  and
vacuousness (is that a word? i hope it's a word--it's a damn good
one)--for those persons, Franny's physical demise does not need a
biological explanation.
