Could we have pregnancy symptoms because of hopeful thinking?

Question

Answer

It’s 100% possible. Phantom pregnancy’s happen a lot. When your mind tricks your body into creating pregnancy symptoms. Even missed periods sometimes. When you constantly think about and or obsess over the want to be pregnant. It’s all psychosomatic. Sometimes talking with a doctor helps

Answer

Absolutely!
So many women who are ttc all of a sudden become more “in-tuned” with their bodies, and want to be pregnant so bad that they create “symptoms” in their heads.
If you haven’t ovulated yet, it’s 100% impossible to be pregnant.
What you’re experiencing is ovulation symptoms or your brain playing tricks on you because you want to be pregnant.

Answer

Ovulation symptoms for me often feel similar to period ones!

Answer

Ovulation and menstruation symptoms are all so similar it's hard to differentiate. Because you're trying to conceive you're symptom spotting more than usual. I swear every month that I'm pregnant because of something I feel, but nope, just normal bodily functions lol. Good luck!! And stay off of Google 😂

Answer

Honestly our brain is sooooooo powerful we can make ourselves believe anyting but it could be pregnancy or ovulation

Answer

I honestly didn’t feel much different leading up to my positive test! I felt like my period was coming any second - bloating and cramping.
