Pregnancy is a blessing for most women as they have the ability to bring a new life, their own flesh and blood, into the world. However, some women are afraid of getting pregnant because they don’t want the added responsibility of caring for a child. If you fall into the latter category, you might find that you are experiencing symptoms of false pregnancy because you are taking the signs too seriously. Keep reading as this article will tell you about false pregnancy and how to recognize it. What is False Pregnancy? Pseudocyesis, commonly called false pregnancy, is a medical condition
What Is False Pregnancy And How to Recognize It – Causes, Signs and Tests
My boyfriend and I have never had unprotected sex, and we used both condoms and my oral birth control. The issue is, I can swear something is off with me. I dont have sore or tender breasts, but I do feel a bit bloated and I swear I can feel something in there. I’m actually starting to get panicky and nowhere ive looked so far has been able to help
Hi Lilly, well the only way you are going to know is to take a test after you miss a period, if you do. You wouldn’t be able to feel anything moving or anything like that yet. Bloating is also a symptom of PMS. I would wait it out until after your expected period date.
Hi I think im pregnant but I also think it’s false I experienced spotting and it was a darker discharge than usual but it was my first time having intercourse and I took plan b pill and I feel like its the stress that causes the symptoms
Hello Skylar, take a pregnancy test if you think you might be pregnant.
Hi.. I missed my period 13 days ago.. I got a home pregnancy test and it was positive.. Got my blood tested and positive too, I got an ultrasound some days ago and the tech saw nothing… I have very little symptoms, is that normal?
Hello Amy, your HCG levels are high which is what the pregnancy tests have detected. However the ultrasound shows nothing which is not good. Please follow up with these results by seeing a doctor ASAP.
My boyfriend and I have been using protection every time that we had sex. Except that one time a long time ago, but all tests have been negative. I am irregular so it is very hard to pin point if my period is late. My discharge is watery and sticky, one of my breasts feels sensitive and I have headaches a lot now. My lower left abdomen hurts and radiates to my right. I am scared and don’t want to tell anyone. Could someone please tell me what’s wrong with me?
Hello Ani, for these troubling and unusual symptoms I would advise that you see your doctor for a physical assessment.
hi, I have this problem that made think i’m pregnant. I had my period last week but after my period I noticed that i’m having signs of pregnancy such as, dizziness, fast heart beats, and i can also feel movements in my stomach. I am so confused if I’m pregnant or not. I’m also a virgin and I’m still studying. I’m so scared that I might be pregnant.
Hi Chloe, if you are still a virgin then there is no physical way for you to get pregnant without having sex. Those symptoms could be that of anxiety, panic attacks (I suffer from both that’s why I say that), however I would recommend a call to your doctor regarding your symptoms and maybe get seen, first at your regular doctor to make sure that your health is good, and second potentially at a therapist if it is indeed something else, which if it is a mental health issue is nothing to be ashamed about. I see a therapist once a month to help with anxiety and depression and I will shout it off the rooftops because it helps. Good luck.
I haven’t had a period since December and all my test came back negative , but I have every symptom.. I don’t think I’m pregnant but I have irregular periods so I’m confused.
Hi Shawnae, if you have irregular periods you are ovulating irregularly. If you don’t get your period I would recommend making an appointment with your doctor to ensure that everything is fine or if you are trying to get pregnant to see how they can help you out as well to make them more regular and ovulate more regularly.

I have had 3 successful pregnancys and 9 miscarriages . 7 of those were between my oldest son now 9 and my youngest son now 7 and the other 2 were last year and 2016ve done some research and it is possible for the vasectomy to naturally reverse itself which my doctor said is not as rare as it used to be.. My fiance had a vasectomy over 8 years ago 2 years before we got together but I’m getting all the symptoms and signs that I’m pregnant. I just got over my menstrual 2 days ago but it only lasted 4 days then stopped and I was 4 days late getting it. Could it be possible that I am actually pregnant?
Hi A.D. It is possible, considering that with the older techniques of vasectomies, about 1 in 4,000 do naturally reverse themselves. Newer surgeries have brought the percentage close to zero. It is possible that you are pregnant. I would recommend taking a pregnancy test and calculate when your next period could be and see what happens at that point. If you are concerned I would make an appointment for both yourself and him to get checked out if you think it has naturally reversed itself.
I started to experience which is easiest to relate to as morning sickness, mid August 2017. This included food aversions. I had been sterilized 7 years ago so when it began, I wanted to blame Chipotle, which I had 2 days earlier. By the third day of this “morning sickness” I began to do research if my sterilization procedure could fail (I either had the band or the clip) and yes, I found multiple testimonies from women who found out that it failed due to a pregnancy. As symptoms grew, such as hemorrhoids. back aches, headaches, boobs got heavier and fuller, constipation, gas, overly relaxed bowel that made one eager to use the toilet (anyone who’s been pregnant before, should recognize that) as well as the ongoing morning sickness, despite the negative urine test (which I found out are excellent at failing: http://www.pregnancylab.net/2015/01/false-negative-pregnancy-tests-the-story-continues.html ) I began to believe I had to be pregnant. My lower abdomen began to bloat and I took another pregnancy test the following week, and the following week, but all were negative. I kept having symptoms that matched that week of pregnancy but not always exactly, maybe off by a week or two. More and more veins began to show on the surface of my skin even had the shortness of breath develop often….. It isn’t until November 2017 did I have medical insurance and ultrasound and blood work came back normal and NOT pregnant but by this point, my belly has grown to resemble the belly that I had when I was pregnant many years ago. I am wearing maternity pants, my waist had grown 10″ but had only gained 4 pounds and the medical professional advised me to see a dietitian! I have an appointment on December 5th for a second opinion. I am not at all insisting I am pregnant, because test say I am not. So I just want this pregnant belly to resolve. I look 4-5 months pregnant, and if I was indeed pregnant, I would be just a bit over 4 months now. I feel lost and confused and hope that someone can give me an answer and help me get rid of this belly that has no business being here so no medical profession has said: yup, you’re definitely pregnant. I have put my life on hold trying to sort this out, I need a resolution. Here’s my email if someone has answers: thatsjustprime gmail.com

Hi there Jessy, please take pregnancy test 7 days after missed period to confirm this.
Jessy go to the urgent care and find out!!! Best of luck with your results
I and my girlfriend had unprotected sex about a week and a half ago. She started to get all these pregnancy symptoms. I did not cum in her at all. She bled a little for about 4 days but I don’t think that was her period because she’s expected to have it on the 18th. It was both of our first time. What should we do?
Hello there Ken, advise your girlfriend to take a pregnancy test 7 days after a missed period.
Females can also get pregnant by pre-ejaculation. So you didn’t have to “cum” inside her.
Hello, i want to share what I am going through now. I am very stress because of over thinking that I am pregnant again!. I have 2years old baby girl and a 4months old baby girl turning 5months this Aug. 15. Last May 2017, I had my first Injectable contraceptive for just (3)months. Then my doctor said I need to come back this Aug. 09, for the 2nd Inject. So, after all these days I’m having sex with my husband although everytime we’re having sex he didn’t cum inside me. My first menstruation is last June 15,2017 and it lasts up to July 15, 2017, so iv’e been menstrual active for almost 1month. Then I’m still waiting for Aug. 15 (my next menstrual cycle) for me to know if I am really pregnant or not, bec. If I think of it it’s not possible for me to be pregnant, first I have an Injectable contraceptives, second is everytime my husband and i having sex He always didn’t cum inside me. Now I am very stress to think I am pregnant bec. Of tiredness sometimes, and feeling faintness, but I don’t feel some of pregnancy symptoms. I’m just worrying about my belly. After I gave birth to my 2nd baby 4months ago my belly didn’t back to normal again. I am curious if the reason of my bigger belly is over eating. I wish I am not pregnant. Still waiting on aug. 09.
Hi there cathy, wishing for you best results, take a pregnancy test 7 days after missed period to determine if you might be pregnant.
I have had signs of it the past few days. But i don’t ever think about getting pregnant or having kids for a few years. I looked up some stuff and it seemed similar to what was going on with me. I haven’t thought about it until tonight and i don’t have any way to know if its true or not. What do i do?
