Top DIY pregnancy tests.   

It is very natural if you have no access to a pregnancy kit or have no means to procure it. Moreover, they are expensive as well. So naturally, we understand why it’s hard to get a pregnancy kit. However, if you are a sexually active individual, you need to check yourself from time to time. So, we are bringing you top DIY methods that can help you check if you are pregnant right at home.   Therefore, stick around to find out how to check pregnancy at home naturally.

Bleach test.  

A popular method that is known for its accuracy and quick results. Take a clean container and collect your urine in it. Subsequently, add some bleaching power to your urine and stir properly. You must keep stirring till there are no more lumps.

Now, experts claim that if the mixture turns into foam or fizz, then there is a chance that you might be pregnant. If the mixture does not foam up, you can calm down as you are not pregnant.  

Sugar test.  

Another popular DIY method to check pregnancy is lauded as the ‘easiest’ among all the other tests. Take a tablespoon of sugar in a bowl and add an equal part, that is, one tablespoon of urine, to it. Now you should note down how the sugar reacts to the mixture.

If the sugar dissolves easily in the urine, then you are not pregnant. However, if the sugar clumps up and refuses to dissolve, then there is a chance that you are pregnant. It is believed that the hCG hormone present in a pregnant woman’s urine keeps the sugar from dissolving properly. You can even use salt instead of sugar; the process, as well as the result, stays the same. If the salt dissolves, you are not pregnant, and vice-versa.

Vinegar test.  

For this test, you specifically need white vinegar. You should take two tablespoons of white vinegar and add it to a plastic container. Then add your urine to the vinegar and stir it properly.

If the mixture remains neutral and shows no activity or movement, then you are in the clear. However, if you see any change in color or form bubbles, then there is a chance that you are pregnant.

Wine test.  

Alittle expensive and time-consuming, this is a test that might not be for everyone. But, if you are someone who has got wine at their home and suspects that you’re pregnant. Then this remedy is for you. Take half a cup of wine, and mix it up with equal part urine.

After mixing the wine and urine together, you need to wait 10 minutes. Again, if the wine remains neutral, you are not pregnant. However, if the color of the wine changes, then you should consult a doctor, as you could be pregnant.

Wheat and barley test.  

Allegedly developed in ancient Egypt, this is believed to be one of the oldest methods on this list. For this method, you have to urinate on wheat or barley and leave it out for two or three days.

It is believed that if the seeds sprout, then the results of the test are positive. It means if the seeds sprout, you could be pregnant. Otherwise, you can rest easy.
