Has anyone convinced themselves they are pregnant, symptoms & all, & not been?

I have had nausia all week! My period is 5 days late. I'm a little moody & emotional & been peeing heaps but I have done 5 HPT's & they have been BFN's. Do you think it is possible to believe yourself to be pregnant & in turn your body reacts by displaying pregnancy symptoms when you are in fact not pregnant? I feel so pregnant for some reason but my cheap internet test (might be duds???) keep telling me NO! No hint of a line what so ever.

I'm impatient I know, should just forget about it for a week, relax & see what happens :rolleyes:

Women TTC everywhere can empathise !

I think you'll find that's a pretty common complaint around here, sadly. Hope you really are pregnant, though!

I was so sure I was pg once I nt to my GP for a blood test. It was negative but eventually I did get my BFP. Good luck.

Yep, i do that EVERY month. Good luck!

Oh darn I was hoping everyone would say I must definately be pregnant because those symptoms combined don't happen for any other reason than pregnancy, lol.

On a complete other note I am new here, do you always have to type in the verification code before you can post or with this dissappear at so many posts? It's rather annoying!

Nope, that'll disappear once you hit a certain amount of posts. None of us can remember what it is though :rofl:

hopefully it's soon :)

I found a website that said if you get a negative pregnancy test after your period is due you have like 10% chance of being pregnant! Wow I didn't realise that. I thought some people just had to wait until they were a bit more pregnant to get a positive. Wishful thinking me thinks :pray: hehe

That was me this month. Period 5 days late and all the preg symptoms. But the dream is over for this month :)

I go through it every month :hug:

Hope you get your BFP

Almost EVERY month!!!

Good luck though....fingers crossed!

It's an epidemic then, lol.

I did another HPT this morning (would be 14 days past ovulation by my count) and BFN so now I am trying to relax, stop thinking I am pregnant & stop over dramatising potential pregnancy symptoms & encourage AF to arrive so I am out of this limbo.

So why else would I have nausia for a week? I read it's not likely you get morning sickness this quickly anyway (though some people have I have read too).

Anyway thanks for your responses ladies at least I know I am not alone :)

I think the mind is a very powerful thing, I've had what appeared to be morning sickness and then turned out not to be pregnant, the stress of waiting and analysing every symptom makes it worse from my experience.

Yes, it's awful!

Life can be so cruel!

every single cycle *sigh*


I really hope you get a BFP soon!!

Yep, happens every time we TTC.

Last month I was so convinced I was pg that I didnt even bother to test. I just knew I was pg. Well, that was until AF started at 14DPO :wall:.

TTC can be so frustrating.

When I was TTC jumped at every single sign possible and the month I had no signs I got my BFP. Go figure!!

A few months ago I was 95% sure I was pg. Mind you we weren't TTC, I have Implanon and was taking the pill to control bleeding. So contraception wise, everything was pointing to a no. However, I felt neaseous, bloated, sore bbs, was dry reaching every morning like I did when I was pg. Turned out the nausea was a bug I had that needed ABs and the rest was just a coincidence!

We can never tell without that magic stick!! I hope you get your BFP soon.

most cycles, sorry :(

but FX your BFP comes sooooon!! :D

the code thingy stopped for me after about 20 posts ;)
