Amazon dip sticks

Hi. I’ve been testing my own urine once a week recently with urine dip sticks that you can buy off Amazon. (Ftm and anxious after a loss) just to check if I’m healthy and all that.

Just wondered if anyone has actually ever successfully self-diagnosed uti’s or glucose or other, in their urine?

All my samples appear to be normal.
Just curious thats all.

I did have some flaky white bits in my urine this morning, but think it’s probably discharge, which has certainly increased since becoming pregnant.

Thanks

I got those too and they are nearly always normal.
Once it looked like an increase in protein and i had a consultant appt the next day where they tested and found +1 in my urine so it was sent for further tests. It seems it was a one off as all fine since then (both with the midwife and my home testing).

I also ordered these and found I had high leukocytes which can indicate a UTI. I called my dr to let her know and she prescribed me antibiotics
