It's negative.
- What? - It's negative.
Well, there you go.
That's really great, great news.
Because the whole not being ready, the financial aspects, all that This is just the way it was supposed to be.
Well then, great.
This is so stupid.
How can I be upset over something I never had? - It's negative? - No, it's positive.
- What? - It's not negative, it's positive.
- Are you sure? - Yeah, I lied before.
- Now you know how you really feel.
- That's a risky little game.
Are you really gonna do this? I'm gonna have a baby.

----my question
Rachel said "How can I be upset over something I never had?" what does this sentence mean?

I think, she unconsciously, is happy to get pregnant but she didn't realize that. she was sad when Pheobe lied to her about the test.

In my opinion "How can I be upset over something I never had" means "I feel a great sense of loss now at this time, very sad.."
Is it right?

Answer

Hi there

Rachel is talking about the baby.

In that moment when she speaks, she was never pregnant so never had a baby. So, "How can you miss something you never had?"

So, ultimately, your feeling was right! Well done!

Answer

You got it! 
At first she thought that she wasn't pregnant and was trying to convince herself that it was better because she wasn't really ready to have a baby. But then she acknowledged feeling "upset over something [she] never had" because deep down inside she realized that she really did wish to have a baby. She was feeling a sense of loss, but it was for something she hadn't actually lost because she'd never had it in the first place.
