Saw this thing on youtube where u mix urine with baking soda and see if it fizzes. My period is late so curious to try at home before buying a kit. Does it actually work or just timepass?
My toddler keeps me on my toes now, but I still remember trying all these silly DIY tests out of curiosity back then! Trust me, the baking soda test is not accurate at all. Just wait a day or two and do a proper urine test to save yourself the confusion.
I love using home remedies for small issues, but for confirming a pregnancy, baking soda tests are completely useless. Just buy a standard test strip from the medical store. Also, if you are experiencing any severe cramping or spotting, skip the tests and see your gynac immediately.
My MIL actually suggested this baking soda test to me when my period was late, she was so excited to try it! But honestly, it is just a fun old wives' tale and has no scientific accuracy. Go get a proper Prega News kit from the chemist, it is much more reliable.
It is not accurate at all, dear. I went through a wonderful normal delivery and tried a few of these things for fun, but only proper medical kits are reliable. Get a standard kit from the pharmacy and you will get a clear, happy answer.
Oh god, please don't rely on these kitchen tests, they will only make you overthink and stress out! I tried it once and panicked because it fizzed, but it actually means nothing. Buy a proper pregnancy detection kit or get a blood test done to be absolutely sure.
In our family, elders sometimes talk about these old methods using baking soda or salt. But it is always best to trust your doctor and get a real clinical urine test. It is a much calmer and more peaceful way to confirm your news.
