Can you produce HCG in urine if you are not pregnant?
Yes. HCG levels between 0-5 are common in non-pregnant women and are considered to be normal.
Would a phantom pregnancy be happaning because im thinking about it to much?
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!

If you have a phantom pregnancy will the pregnancy test be positive?
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.

Is aversion to coffee a symptom of pregnancy?
Different women go off different things. First time I just went off coffee, second time I went off coffee, tea, chocolate (would you believe?) and jacket potatoes.
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.
Some women still have periods whilst pregnant. Are you still on the pill, or do you have an IUD? Both blood and urine tests can be wrong (urine moreso than blood).
You need to have another blood test and discuss the results with your doctor.
You would have to be no less than 3 months pregnant to feel any movement. The first movements you will feel will not feel like a baby kicking, it will feel more like flutters. If your pregnancy tests are still negative then you are not pregnant, if you think you are far enough along to feel fetal movement. It could be that you are experiencing a phantom pregnancy because it is not likely that you would have negative pregnancy tests and getting your period.
If you had a dnc after your miscarriage is it possible for your fallopian tubes to be blocked?
A D&C would not cause blocked fallopian tubes. If you got pregnant, at least one of your tubes was not blocked.
possibly, I'd take a test to see though
stop thinkin about it so much,, an if its because ur tryin for a baby stop thinkin about it,, it will happen wen its meant to happen trust me.....
Signs of false pregnancy in dogs?
Canine false pregnancy (or pseudocyesis) occurs after your dog has been in heat. This is because the hormone levels remain high to support pregnancy even if your dog has not been bred. Dogs may use blankets (or something similar) to make a 'nest.' They also may begin to treat toys (or similar items) as 'puppies', possibly guarding them aggressively. The best thing to do is take your dog to the vet who can perform an exam to diagnose the problem and give you advice on what to do. Hope this helps :)
Do women with phantom pregnancy test positive on home pregnancy tests?
I have heard both yes and no for this however if you do research into it, its very possible for the test to come back positive because your mind tricks your body into believing its pregnant so the hormone levels will show signs of pregnancy
Can traveling with own car during pregnancy can cause miscarriage?
No, when pregnant you can live a perfectly normal life. Just avoid certain foods like raw meat, fish and eggs, alcohol and caffeine and too much sugar. Sex is safe unless a doctor say otherwise and exercise is something that is always good for you, especially swimming. Avoid really heavy lifting.
If you are having a phantom pregnancy will a test come up positive?
No Preg test are only looking for a hormone called HCG which is only present if you are preg or recently miscarried.
Does Depo-Provera simulate pregnancy-like symptoms like phantom kicks?

Symptoms of False Pregnancy
Women with pseudocyesis have many of the same symptoms as those who are actually pregnant, including:- Interruption of the menstrual period
- Swollen belly
- Enlarged and tender breasts, changes in the nipples, and possibly milk production
- Feeling of fetal movements
- Nausea and vomiting
- Weight gain
These symptoms can last for just a few weeks, for nine months, or even for several years. A very small percentage of patients with false pregnancy will arrive at the doctor's office or hospital with what feels like labor pains.
Treatment options for phantom pregnancy?
Since phantom pregnancy is a false pregnancy, I advice that every woman should try to note the date her menstrual cycle start n ends, by so doing when missed she Can detect whether she is pregnant or not.
What else can a positive pregnancy test mean?
It can mean thert you're only SLIGHTLY pregnant, meaning you'll only have a slight baby. probably just the legs and an arm.
