Hi all, so we have been ttc for 18 months now and nothing. I am 44 at the moment so not holding out much hope but I have had 2 previous successful pregnancies and births. I am 3 days late and I can’t get to the shops at the moment as my DH has the car and is away for a couple of days. I desperately want to know if I am pregnant so I tried a diy bicarbonate of soda home test - it fizzed and bubbled loads when my urine was added to the bicarbonate - according to the test if this happens it indicates a pregnancy. I know I need to do a proper test, and I will. I know I can’t rely on diy testing with household ingredients but has anyone ever done a diy test with bicarbonate of soda and actually had it confirmed with an actual test?? TIA!!
