Q: Phantom Pregnancy?
asked by: Becky on January 5th, 2007
Especially EHEALTHy
I think i'm having a phantom pregnancy Shocked

i'm getting loads of pregnancy symptoms.

*lumpy heavy boobs
*much more noticeable greeny blue veins on my boobs
*increased appetite (like eating 3 big meals a day)
*feeling nauseous during the day

there's a cople of other things too but I can't remember them to hand right now.

Obviously I can't be pregnant cause I have the coil in and robbie thinks it's because I want another baby so much that my body is tricking me.

I'm tempted to do a test but i'm just bing silly cause robbie checks my coil and it's in place.

Has anyone else had this before?

I don't know what to say sweetie.

Maybe your body is starting to relax again.
It's good that you are eating properly again. Perhaps your body has realised it needs those nutrients for it to work properly.

Still people have, rarely, become pregnant whilst using the iud or ius.
I'd not trust a man to check my strings.
Have a check yourself to see if it is still in place.
And well, if you're still in doubt indulge in my favourite pastime - pee-on-a-stick!!!!!!!!

I have real problems trying to find my cervix. For some reason it's impossible for me. Thats why I have to get robbie to check but he knows what to feel for (if there's any metal). What makes it worse is I don't get any periods at all now so I can't even rely on them to tell me if i'm pregnant or not.

I'm gonna .P.M you kia

Maybe because angel's sue date is coming up your body's playing tricks on you. Or maybe it's the hormones from the coil. I don;t know.

You're gonna be a.O.K!!! Wink sorry it's early here. Lol

Thanks jess. I know you're right. I doubt it's hormones from the coil cause i've had it in 4 months now but it is probably my body playing tricks Rolling Eyes

Becks, it can also slip inwards.
He needs to check if he can feel the fine strings that should poke through the cervix.
If those strings are not in place the whole thing could have slipped.
It happened recently to a friend on another forum.
She went in and they just had to re-position it.

I think, (and please dont take this the wrong way..) that you are so preoccupied with being pregnant that you are seriously convincing yourself you are.

Its not healthy, .Becca... Sweetie ur my friend and I know this sounds bad, but I think you need to go to maybe a psychiatrist or something to get over this obsession. Instead of trying to make yourself the center of attention, focus on the two wonderful kids you already have.

Im honestly not trying to be mean... Ur my friend and you of all people know I dont sugar coat things.

Pm me if you want and we'll talk more.
