Forcing Pregnancy Symptoms?

Coursey-Bride

Silly (but burning) question, and I have to ask: can you force your body to give you signs of impending pregnancy? I've read that some of these things are psychological, and your mind can trick your body into thinking something is there, but how far can that really go? I mean, can you force your body to have implantation bleeding? Any advice would help.

 Thanks!

Sometimes I force my boobs to grow...but only when I want to get some.

I'm in a good mood today so I'll bite. Yes, ?you can mentally make yourself have pregnancy symptoms and not be pregnant. Likewise, implantation bleeding can be just normal plain old spotting. Many women don't get i-bleeding at all and still get pregnant. So in short, you may be pregnant or it could all be in your mind. Only a test will tell you the truth.

Well, that level of things is a deep psychosis, which needs psychiatric treatment.  What you see most frequently is better called wishful thinking or hypochondria.

Pyschologically I think it can definitly happen. Not to make a weird comparison, but I will..my dog before she was neutered went into heat and had sexual relations with another dog. (We weren't trying to mate her). The next months to follow she started to exhibit qualities of a pg dog, swollen nipples, nesting, growing belly, even lactation. So if its possible in dogs..maybe it is in people? The vet said it happens with animals all the time. It dates back to hundreds of years ago when the stronger female dogs would have pups and would immediatly have to go back to hunting, so the less strong female dogs would care for the pups including milking them.
