Can you have no hcg in a phantom pregnancy?

Yes, it is possible to have no detectable human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in a phantom pregnancy, also known as a false pregnancy or pseudocyesis. In this condition, a person may exhibit symptoms of pregnancy, such as missed periods and abdominal changes, but may not have an actual pregnancy or hCG levels. The body can produce pregnancy-like symptoms due to psychological factors, hormonal imbalances, or other medical conditions without the presence of hCG.
