What age can you have a phantom pregnancy?

A phantom pregnancy, or pseudocyesis, can occur at any age after a person has started menstruating and is capable of becoming pregnant, typically during their reproductive years. It is more commonly reported in women in their 20s to 40s, but psychological and physiological factors can contribute to this condition regardless of age. This phenomenon is characterized by the belief of being pregnant, accompanied by various pregnancy-like symptoms, despite the absence of an actual fetus.
