Phantom pregnancy after menopause

I feel like i'm going mad. Name changed but been here for years.

I've been on oestrogel and had a mirena coil fitted around 6 years ago and had no periods since but for the past week have been having what I can only describe as pregnancy symptoms.
I fell pregnant 20 years ago and felt the same then as I do now, heavy boobs in the morning with really hard nipples and a really watery mouth and sick feeling although i've not been sick. I've put weight on in the past few weeks but I can't be surely?
I feel mad for thinking I need to take a test but feel that's the only way to know.
Really busy at work so no time to go to the doctors.

I'm in my 50's for fuck's sake! AIBU to ask if a phantom pregnancy is a thing or could it be caused by something else? Any advice welcome.

Id take a pregnancy test, at least it'll give you some info. Sounds like you might need to go a doctor at some point though
