What causes a person to feel pregnant without being pregnant?

Answer 1

In some cases stress can. In other cases it can be that fact that you might be worrying about it and therefore are creating some symptoms not knowing that you are, that in return is related to the stress of worrying or wondering.

Sometimes PMS symptoms can be a lot like pregnancy symptoms.

Taking Birth Control pills also causes symptoms of pregnancy when you first start taking them because your body is adjusting to the hormones.

A hormone inbalance can make you think that you are pregnant. I have had it many times. I was tired, breasts sore, nauseous,heart burn, smells making me sick, but a negative test. Stress caused me to have this as well as not taking my pills regularly.
