pregnancy test

I read online some home remedy pregnancy tests. One was to pee in a cup and pour some bleach in it and if it fizzes youre pregnant but if it doesn't youre not. So I did it and it didnt fizz but idk if that remedy actually works. Any ideas?  Anyone know?

Hello,
If you are apprehensive regarding the status of your pregnancy you can get it checked. Most home pregnancy tests that check urine beta-HCG are sensitive to 20-25 mIU/ml of HCG. The test can be positive anywhere from about 2-3 days prior to a missed menses to 4-5 days after, but usually it should be done 7-10 days past your missed period.

Otherwise you can get a serum HCG also done which is more specific than urine pregnancy test.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

These are all 'old wives tales'. You need a proper pregnancy test - urine or blood test to determine pregnancy.
