Hi there! New here with lots of questions. My husband and I decided we wanted to have children before we strated dating, a little wierd but it works for us. One month after our wedding, I set a date to test if I didn't get my period. I have long cycles (between 32 and 35 days) so I wasn't too hopeful when I took the obligatory ht. I want to be pregnant so badly I have imagined the symptoms on and off depending on the level of my urge for conception. I took my test and a completely unexpected blue plus sign showed up almost immediately. Had I conceived, it would have occurred between the fourth and sixth of this month. But I have only had the occaisional wave of nausea when emotionally stressed (such as being hit with a car) and the odd craving (including a nearly uncontrollable urge to lick a beach ball as though it were delicious ice cream, something about that new plastic smell...)
Question: Can a psychosomatic pregnancy cause the body to create hCG? I am under the impression that pretty much only conception results in a positive test, but my rather surprising lack of symptoms worries me a little.
