It means that your period is on its way maybe a month or 2 so keep in hand pads, tampons, or panty-liners!

A chemical pregnancy is a flase pregnancy in a way as there is no fetus there its just your body thinking its pregnancy and actually doing everything pregnant bodies do. Its very strange. But the only way to get a false positive pregnancy test is if your taking medication containing HCG. On rare occasions you can encounter a false positive due to improper testing, expired pregnancy tests, rare medical conditions such as certain types of cancer, evaporation lines, a recent pregnancy or a chemical pregnancy.A chemical pregnancy is a very early miscarriage. It usually occurs from the time the women takes a pregnancy test (that shows positive and her period.) and before a heart beat develops. (http://www.babyhopes.com/articles/chemical-pregnancy.html) .

Yes, you can. The hormonal changes are still there. Hormones are what make your body prepare for the baby. There have been cases of people convincing themselves they were pregnant, when they weren't, that even had their abdomen expand.

As strange as it may seem, there are women that are so out of touch with their own bodies that they have not known that they are pregnant until ready to give birth.

Not realising you are pregnant is more common in young women who do not know much about their own bodies and therefore miss the signs, often those who have only had sex once or twice and do not consider themselves likely to get pregnant. Some inexperienced young women who lack sex education may not even be sure whether or not they have actually had sex.

In cases of child abuse, the girl may not even have had a period yet, as you can be fertile before your first menstruation, and therefore may not have any idea that she could be pregnant.

For women who have had a traumatic sexual experience such as rape, which they may prefer to blot out and not think about, convincing themselves they are not pregnant can be a way of convincing themselves that the rape did not happen.

Older women entering the menopause may also miss the signs of pregnancy, and put the cessation of periods down to the end of fertility rather than pregnancy. As weight gain, especially around the waist, is not unusual at the menopause, the 'baby bulge, is often put down to this.

It is pretty uncommon, but I personally have known two such cases, one a very young woman, one a peri-menopausal woman, and have also met someone whose parents very famously did not realise they had had penetrative sex until the mother was eight months pregnant - a story that's famous because the mother wrote a memoir which became a best-seller.

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 it can. I was prescribed Oxycodone after surgery and my period was 4 days late. I remember reading that it stays in your system for about 48 hrs or so. After you stop taking it, you should be ok in a few days. Hope that helps.

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.

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.
