Can a psychologic pregnancy affect a pregnancy test?
With a phantom, or psychological, pregnancy, you will NOT get a positive result. HCG in your system is caused by a growing embryo and if it is postitive, you do have a baby in there. A phantom pregnancy is where you basically fool your mind and body into thinking it is pregnant, when you are not. You will still experience pregnancy symptoms but you are not actually pregnant. It is all in your head. It may cause your period to delay, your breasts to become sore, "morning sickness" to occur but it will not cause your body to release HCG.

After miscarriage and 0 hcg Does it make it hard for pregnancy tests to read accurate?
Hello, If you have 0 HCG in your blood, and if you conceived after this then a pregnancy test would be accurate. A pregnancy test will not be accurate if you have any HCG in your blood.
You took a pregnancy test and it came out positive you are also almost 2 months late on your period is this a phantom pregnancy?
If your pregnancy test is positive then most likely you are. You would be more likely to get a false negative rather than a false positive. If you are unsure, you can request a beta HCG test from your doctor. This will measure the HCG hormone in your blood system which is an indicator of pregnancy. The pregnancy test is positive and you haven't had a period in two months. I see nothing to indicate that this is a 'phantom' pregnancy other than maybe wishful thinking. I've been told that the home test kits may give a false negative, but that they never indicate a false positive.
