I call pregnancy nausea induced by overdosing on tictacs
Your title made me 'grrr' for a moment - IPS is a phrase that gets my back up. THe 'Imaginary' part... it's quite mysoginistic, no doubt coined by paternal doctors 'These silly women,
imagining pregnancy symtoms' when infact, the 'symptoms' will be REAL. Not necessarily caused by pregnancy, granted, but not imagined. It's the rise in progesterone after O that gives us symptoms that can mimic pregnancy symptoms whether we're pregnant or not.
But, uh, yeah! Stop eating all the tictacs!
