How False pregnancy (pseudocyesis) happens in humans? They display the usual pregnancy symptoms like abdominal swelling, nausea, food cravings etc. Yet they may not actually be pregnant. A scan usually detects this condition as false pregnancy.

 

My question is what will be their hCG levels? Will it be positive at any point of this episode? What will happen to the other (estrogen, progesterone etc) hormonal changes.
