If you have a phantom pregnancy will the pregnancy test be positive?

In: Phantom Pregnancy [Edit categories]

Answer:

Yes. In a phantom pregnancy, the body is tricked into feeling like it is pregnant. Consequently the same hormones present in a real pregnancy will be present in the body of someone who is undergoing a phantom pregnancy, and these hormones are what a pregnancy test detects.
