Do you think you can "create" symptoms?

Question

Just wishing so much you were pregnant? Last time I had a delay of over a week and finally I got my period...could it be all in my head? Do you ever think you can delay a period just by wishing AF wouldn't visit you?

Answer

Unfortunately yes. In some cases the higher desire to have a baby can even leads to changes in the endocrine system of the body, leading to the secretion of hormones that cause physical changes similar to those during pregnancy. This false or pseudo pregnancy is purely psychological. It's stunning how the brain works when there's a higher desire. If something well desire can't be achieve, the brain can take care of it.  Unfortunately an urin or blood test can very fast rip apart, what the brain slowly built. Sad but true!
