My period is 4 days late and I dont have a kit at home right now, its kinda late to step out. My cousin was telling me about the salt test thing. How exactly do u do it? Is it even reliable or should I just wait for morning.
Haha the salt method is basically a kitchen experiment, not a test. I tried it once out of curiosity and the result told me nothing useful. Pee on an actual strip yaar, it'll save you the suspense.
I also read about this when I was anxious and didnt want to go out buy a kit. But it gave me a weird result and confused me more. Strip was way clearer, please just use that.
Honestly the salt test is just a fun internet thing, it has no real accuracy. Save yourself the confusion and just buy a regular pregnancy strip from the chemist, they cost very little and actually work. I'd never trust the salt one for something this important.
These home tests with salt or toothpaste arent reliable at all, there's no science behind them. A proper urine strip done with morning urine after a missed period is accurate. For full confirmation a blood beta hCG at the lab or a scan with your doctor is the real answer.
These DIY tests are just for fun, dont put your hopes or fears on them. Get a proper kit, and if it shows positive, book your gynac to confirm. That's the safe and clear way.
