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

No, a phantom pregnancy, also known as pseudocyesis, is a condition in which a woman experiences all the symptoms of pregnancy, including a positive pregnancy test, without actually being pregnant. This is due to a hormonal imbalance that causes the body to produce high levels of progesterone and estrogen, which are the hormones that are responsible for the changes that occur during pregnancy. In a phantom pregnancy, these hormones are produced without the presence of a fertilized egg, and the woman's body goes through the same changes that it would during a normal pregnancy, such as breast enlargement, nausea, and weight gain. However, there is no actual embryo or fetus developing in the uterus.
