Know All About Homemade Pregnancy Test

For a homemade pregnancy test, you need to find the substances at home which can detect the presence of a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG).  This is the hormone that is called the pregnancy hormone and it starts to develop in women as soon as they conceive. If you can find some substance at home which react to hcg and show some noticeable effect after coming in contact with them, these can be your testing materials. However, you should not rely completely on pregnancy tests, but confirm it with blood test at a doctor’s facility if you happen to test positive.

Method of homemade pregnancy test

The homemade pregnancy test kit can work in the following ways:-

As the pregnancy hormone called hcg is released in a woman after she conceives, and it starts to circulate within 24 hours in the woman’s body, and can be found in her urine sample. Pregnancy begins six or more days prior to conception. It has been evaluated that the hcg level is detectable eight days after you are pregnant. So, you need to keep on testing with the methods given below to eventually get the result.

How to prepare homemade pregnancy test

Dandelion Pregnancy Test

• Get a few dandelion leaves obtained from the stem of a plant, and put them on a plastic sheet placed on the floor.
• Make sure that these leaves do not face the direct sunrays, in other words they should be in shade.
• Urinate on the dandelion leaves and make sure they are completely soaked with your urine.
• Check these leaves every 10 minutes and you should look for reddish blisters appearing. If that is indeed the case, it means you might be pregnant.
  

Pine Sol Pregnancy Test

• Pine Sol is commonly used as a cleaning product as well as a lubricating agent. It can be utilised for a homemade pregnancy test. This test is very easy to perform.
• Just mix your urine sample with pine sol and await any changes in colour.
• Any change in colour indicates pregnancy.

With these pregnancy tests which can be performed at home, you can save yourself the trouble and embarrassment of going to a chemist and asking for the commercial pregnancy home test. It would be advisable though, that you should confirm it with the regular doctor’s pregnancy test as it would be unwise to depend on amateur ideas for confirming your pregnancy.
