I know these aren't accurate but couldn't wait to get an actual test so I don't the bleach urine test in a well ventilated room and the urine foamed about half an inch it didn't go all the way up the glass what does this mean

Umm why don't you buy a pregnancy test? They are very accurate.

I do plan on taking a test. I'd run to the store right now but our carpets getting fitted today and I'm waiting on the carpet fitter coming so I can't :(

I don't know what this means. Other than you mixed urine with bleach.

🤔

Get a test - hope you get the result you want!

It was a sign for me (not intentional, the cleaners had put bleach in the loo at work. Got quite the shock when I used it the next morning!) but it is only around 70% accurate so could be a sign, might not be.

Don't think there's much you can do until you can get out and get a test, and even so they're better with first wee so I wouldn't test again until tomorrow

I've never heard of this method and wouldn't rely on it to tell you anything. Just wait until you can get a test.

Realised my OP was vague and didn't make any sense so I'll say it again sorry!

I suspect that I am pregnant. There is this home made pregnancy test basically you mix your urine with bleach and if It fizzes you're pregnant. I did it and it fizzed but I want to know how accurate/inaccurate this test is.

I will be taking a test tomorrow or Sunday but can't wait til then so thought I'd have fun and do the home made test in the mean time to see what happened

I think the only way to know the answer to this is to do a test, sorry. The bleach urine thing isn't particularly accurate.

Why don't you just wait to use a preg test. I doubt that method is accurate sounds like a load of rubbish and doesn't urine have ammonia in it surely that's not safe to mix with bleach?

That test is a myth. You need a proper pregnancy test.

I actually did this once, had suspicions I was pregnant and couldn’t get a test so just did one for fun and curiosity. It fizzed right up but I wasn’t pregnant. It’s not accurate at all im afraid.

Jesus wept. Take a proper test. If you can’t afford one then see your GP or sexual health clinic

I can most certainly afford a pregnancy test. As I said I wanted to do it for fun because I couldn't get a hold of a test today due to waiting for people coming in to lay the carpet I wore a mask don't worry about the fumes. I'll update this post when I do a test.
