A ultrasound can and your doctor can tell if you're having a phantom pregnancy.
Pregnancy tests will be negative and there will be nothing to see on ultrasound.
I think I am experiencing a phantom pregnancy too. My period was over a week late but it was nothing but a couple days of brown bleeding. Now I have sore breasts, fatigue, food cravings, extra vaginal discharge, and major bloating but 3 negative urine tests. I think the abnormal period made me believe i was pregnant so therefor my body started to believe it and gave me symptoms with no baby in the oven. That's a phantom pregnancy.
yes because to have the phantom pregnancy your body secretes pregnancy hormones which is what pregnancy tests look for
Yes. In a phantom pregnancy, the body is tricked into feeling like it is pregnant. Consequently the same hormones present in a real pregnancy will be present in the body of someone who is undergoing a phantom pregnancy, and these hormones are what a pregnancy test detects.
A horse who is experiencing a phantom pregnancy will have symptoms of an actual pregnancy. These symptoms include the horse being tired with a puffed up stomach.
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.Scroll down to related links and look at "False pregnancy - Wikipedia"

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.
oh yeah
