Why did I feel the early pregnancy symptoms when not pregnant?

[ree008]

Hey alI have been trying to conceive for the past couple of months. I have a 28 day cycle and had never been late anytime. This month my period was delayed by five days. But I experienced early pregnancy symptoms like sensitive nipple and bulged areolas, unusual tiredness, pee very often, sleepy, nausea, increased cervical fluid wetting and unusual cramping. Did twice home pregnancytest and got my results negative. Now got my period on day 6. If I didn't conceive, why did I experience such symptoms which I haven't experienced before. Please help me have an understanding.

Periods can change symptoms month to month depending on your stress levels and how much you convince yourself that you are pregnant. My period symptoms mimiced pregnancy symptoms most months but not all months so i took normal pregnancy tests to make sure only reason i caught my pregnancy early on

^agreed with the "ghost" pregnancy and brain tricking comments. Sometimes when you set your mind to something huge like this, your mind can play tricks on you, and sometimes the simplest or even generally normal symptoms that occur before or around your period can be perceived as different or unfamiliar and you intensify it cuz you're hoping to be pregnant. your mind can be a powerful thing. Anyways. Don't be discouraged. Be patient, take care of yourself and be stress free, everything will work out.

That has happened to me before , since you are probably thinking of getting pregnant so badly your brain could trick your body making you believe/Feel that you are pregnant

Ghost pregnancy. I felt these symptoms before I got pregnant, because I was convinced I was pregnant lol.

If you want a baby bad enough your brain can trick your body into thinking it's pregnant

Those symptoms are also PMS symptoms.. that's why I didn't realize I was pregnant until I was already 2 months haha
