My MIL keeps telling me to try the salt test at home before buying a kit, kehti hai purane zamane mein aise hi pata chalta tha. I dont really trust it but curious if anyone actually did it. Matlab does it even work or just a myth?
Please don't waste your time with salt, it doesn't work and will only confuse you. Buy a simple Prega News kit from the local chemist, it costs just 50 rupees. Save your money for the actual hospital scans and doctor fees later, because those are the real expenses you need to budget for.
A salt test doesn't confirm anything scientifically, dear. Focus on eating balanced, low-glycemic foods for now while you wait to take a real test. High salt in diet is not good anyway, so better to avoid experimenting and just use a proper pregnancy kit.
Haha, salt is only good for raw mangoes or chatpata street food right now! Jokes apart, the salt test is just an old wives' tale with absolutely no logic behind it. Go buy a standard kit from the medical store and treat yourself to a nice snack while you wait to see the real lines!
Honestly, these home salt tests are not reliable at all and have no medical basis. My doctor at Max explicitly told me to only trust blood tests or proper urine kits. Just call your hospital desk and get a beta hCG test scheduled to be 100% sure of your results.
I have seen so many posts about this on the forum, and trust me, salt tests are purely random and inaccurate. The chemical reaction is just a myth. Just do a normal home urine pregnancy test with your first morning urine for actual accurate results.
I completely understand the anxiety of waiting and wanting to know immediately, the suspense is so hard. But these DIY salt tests will only increase your stress because they are never accurate. Take a deep breath and use a regular strip tomorrow morning for peace of mind.
