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.

StormcloakNord · 20/04/2018 12:31

...... what?

laurexa · 20/04/2018 12:32

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

Thanks Steph, were you pregnant?

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.

HappyLollipop · 20/04/2018 17:06

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.

Buddyelf · 20/04/2018 17:22

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.

FranticallyPeaceful · 20/04/2018 17:34

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

laurexa · 20/04/2018 21:20

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.
