One way to test to see if you are pregnant with a homemade pregnancy test is to use bleach.
Bleach gets rid of any colors on any substance that it touches because of a process called oxidation.
Bleach is often used as a disinfectant.
If you pour bleach into a cup and then pour a sample of your urine into the same cup, it is said that if the mixture becomes fizzy or if it froths, then you may be pregnant.
Another homemade pregnancy test is done with pine sol.
Pine sol is made by taking the essential oils of pine from different kinds of pine.
One that is commonly used is called Pinus sylvestris.
Pine sol is most usually used to clean floors and other household surfaces.
If you take a sample of your urine and pour it into a cup that has pine sol in it, then wait for a bit of time and see what happens.
It is said that if the color changes in the mixture, then there is a possibility that you may be pregnant.
If you choose to use these homemade pregnancy test options, you should back up your test with a trip to the doctor to be sure of your results.
The doctor may take a blood test or encourage you to retake your test with an over the counter test that test the hormones in your system.
This is playing it safe, but the agony of a false negative can be devastating to couples who are trying to conceive.
