Am I pregnant or phantom? All tests negative

[Kb_1974]

I am 44 with 3 children and my daughter is 8 weeks pregnant with her 2nd child. About 4 weeks ago I started getting pregnancy symptoms. All that you can imagine apart from vomiting. Even getting the little red freckle like spots on my skin that I have only gotten while pregnant. Anyway I have had 2 blood tests, 4 urine tests and an ultrasound all going back negative.  I wasnt planning a 4th child but this is doing my head in as I'm not getting any answers as to why.  Is it possible to be experiencing my daughters pregnancy symptoms?

Wow, that'd be something if you were, wouldn't it? You hear of things like this but it's hard to imagine why it would happen.  The issue is that you've had so many negative tests.  And things you are experiencing are things that don't happen immediately with pregnancy but a bit into it.  If you have a sympathetic ob, they could run you under their ultrasound machine and look to see.  :>))  But otherwise, those pregnancy tests that are negative are hard to deny.  Then I'd say that this is more psychological and hormonally related.  Does timing for unprotected sex add up or anything?

The timing for unprotected sex is spot on.  Was 17th June. Right around ovulation. Within 2 weeks I was crying for no reason wondering what was wrong with me and the symptoms escalated from there.  Ultrasound has come back no pregnancy and all hormone levels are normal so cant even blame menopause. I've never had any psychological issues so am totally at a loss

When I said psychological, I wasn't implying like mental problems.  LOL  I mean that your brain is interacting with your hormones and doing what some do like matching your period to someone else's like a best friend or sister (we tend to have periods around the same time of women we are with a lot for some reason) and maybe getting symptoms that are like sympathetic symptoms with your daughter. Heck, men are said to get pregnancy symptoms.  You may just be an in tune mama who cares about your daughter.  You clearly are not pregnant but maybe this is opening up the window of some kind of longing in your life?  But you know what, the good news is that even though you aren't pregnant, you have a new grandchild coming which is very exciting.  Anyway, hope it all goes well and if something does turn up to be the answer, let me know!

Oh lol.  Yeh everything your saying could be right.  I am pretty close to my daughter in that sense.  Am glad that it was all negative but just sux that I have to feel this way as don't know how long it can last. I even woke up last night feeling queasy for couple hours then had niggling feelings down below this morning.
Just feels so real.  The subconscious thing could also be that the guy I was with on the 17th June is someone that id love a relationship with but he just isn't interested. Only wants me at his convenience.  So maybe my mind is playing games with me there as well.  Yes I have another beautiful grandchild on the way and need to focus my energies on that.  Thank you so much for your help.
