Okay really random! Just wondering if anyone has done this test and if it actually works! My friend and I are torn, I can't see how it works but she's convinced it does 🤣 Are there any mums to be that are willing to do it for us to see if it does work? Apparently you have to pour 3 tablespoons of your first urine of the day into one tablespoon of dettol, leave for 5-7 minutes and if it separates then you're pregnant!

This sounds like a recipe for disaster! Just use a test.

SparklePrincesss · 26/09/2020 16:46

I don't see the harm in asking mums to be who already know they're pregnant. We don't know if we are yet and will be using tests, it's just a post to see if anyone has tried it before and whether it works 🤷🏼‍♀️

I would give it a go but I don't have any dettol 🧐 isn't there one with bicarbonate? I definitely read that somewhere.
(Oh I am pregnant).

SparklePrincesss · 26/09/2020 17:18

Oh I don't know, off to google I go and then you can try that one 🤣 can you tell we're bored and curious

Haha I can definitely offer up my wee in the morning for some light entertainment.

If it's disinfectant I have zoflora 😂

SparklePrincesss · 26/09/2020 17:25

I think the zoflora would just make it smell nice 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣

Okay so apparently you need a tablespoon of bicarb of soda, mix into first urine of the day. If it fizzes or bubbles then you're pregnant!

This is funny 😂 I have no detol either or bi carb

SparklePrincesss · 26/09/2020 17:43

I'm such a child! 🤣🤣 this just fascinates me! Found this list of home tests you can make! Feel free to try any of them in the name of science obviously 🤪

@SparklePrincesss I think adding Bicarb to anything liquid would make it fizz or bubble :-)

Fearicecream · 26/09/2020 18:54

I have dettol, so if I remember in the morning, I’ll give it a go.

SparklePrincesss · 27/09/2020 08:07

Did anyone do a science experiment? 😂

I did but I don't know what it means... and now I don't have dettol left 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄😂

OP posts:
zippityzip · 27/09/2020 08:10

I did fizz but it was very short lived!!!

zippityzip · 27/09/2020 08:10

It**

violetclouds · 27/09/2020 08:15

Funnily enough i did mix my wee with bi carb a couple of weeks back 😂 not to test If pregnant but to test the old wives tale of if it fizzes it's a boy if it doesn't it's a girl. It didn't fizz & im 25 weeks

SparklePrincesss · 27/09/2020 08:15

With dettol @zippityzip? Was there a white topping on the surface?

OP posts:
zippityzip · 27/09/2020 08:22

No I had bicarbonate! It fizzed and then it stopped pretty quick.
I'm 13 weeks for reference!

zippityzip · 27/09/2020 08:23

@violetclouds Am I having a boy then 😂

SparklePrincesss · 27/09/2020 08:27

Well this is how mine turned out 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣 took a frer this morning and it was bfn although I think I'm still too early to test

I should have taken a video 😂

According to the old wives tale does that mean you are pregnant??

SparklePrincesss · 27/09/2020 08:33

Apparently you are!

🤣 if I compare it to a video on YouTube then apparently so 🤷🏼‍♀️ I'll believe it when I get a bfp or if one of your pregnant Mummas get the same result

Tentative congratulations!

violetclouds · 27/09/2020 15:33

@zippityzip hmmm I wouldn't go out buying all blue just yet 🤣

SparklePrincesss · 27/09/2020 15:43

It's all a bit of light hearted fun though isn't it? I really hope we all do get our bfp
