The only difference between a phantom pregnancy and a real pregnancy is that with a phantom pregnancy you are not actually carrying a baby and you will usually have a period and a negative pregnancy test. You will have the same symptoms as a regular pregnancy and they can last at least as long as 7 months.

Can you have no hcg in a phantom pregnancy?

Yes, it is possible to have no detectable human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in a phantom pregnancy, also known as a false pregnancy or pseudocyesis. In this condition, a person may exhibit symptoms of pregnancy, such as missed periods and abdominal changes, but may not have an actual pregnancy or hCG levels. The body can produce pregnancy-like symptoms due to psychological factors, hormonal imbalances, or other medical conditions without the presence of hCG.


Can you have a phantom pregnancy if your test is positive?

A phantom pregnancy, or pseudocyesis, is a condition where a person believes they are pregnant and exhibits pregnancy symptoms, but there is no actual pregnancy. If a pregnancy test is positive, it typically indicates the presence of the hormone hCG, which is produced during a real pregnancy. Therefore, a positive test generally rules out a phantom pregnancy, as it suggests that a biochemical pregnancy is occurring. However, false positives can occur in rare cases, so further medical evaluation is recommended for clarification.

YEs. The more you want to be pregnant the more you will make yourself believE that your pre-menstrual symptoms are pregnancy . It is not really phantom pregnancy since with the phantom pregnancy you will start growing a bump,etc.... but similar... My advice is: do not believe that you are pregnant unless it has been confirmed with a (or more) potive pregnancy tests!!!! However if you are planning a pregnancy eat healthy and avoid alcohol,caffeine,etc.... All the best!
