What You Need
Before jumping into the fun part, let's get everything we need handy:
- White vinegar
- Urine sample
- A clean cup
- A glass container (small)
- Soap
- Sugar
It might seem odd to have vinegar as an ingredient here, but it'll become clear soon!
The Process
In this section, we will break down each step involved in making our very own homemade pregnancy test.
Step 1: Prepare Your Station
Make sure that all containers and cups are clean before use. Start by washing them thoroughly with soap then run hot water over them to rinse off any residue completely.
Step 2: Mix Vinegar And Urine Sample In Cup
Once you've cleaned your utensils. Take equal amounts of white vinegar and urine collected first thing in the morning (which is more concentrated than later pee). Carefully mix both together in the small glass container/cup.
Make sure they blend well and try reaching every corner of that little vessel just to be extra certain there's nothing left un-mixed - though don't shake too hard!
Step 3: Wait For Chemical Reaction To Occur
As soon as vinegar comes into contact with urine., expect some fission taking place; a chemical process that occurs as orange-red color changes occur after sugar has reacted with Human Chorionic Gonadotropin hormone present only when pregnant.. Best believe me; hold tight while you count down the minutes and hope to Jesus that you get what you're looking for!
Step 4: Measuring Sugar
After twenty-five minutes, it's safe to open your pot of mixture. Pour sugar into this mixture and give it a good stir with a spoon.
The reaction will indicate if HCG hormone is present. Application of heat triggers sweetened vinegar solution to react (it appears black as though burnt). If there are changes in color like an intense orange-red indicating presence of HCG.. then congratulations! You’re Pregnant! But don't just jump on the bed screaming; observe specific colors carefully.
An evident formation of clumps after heating indicates resenceof hcg which help determine whether or not getting pregnant indeed happened - remember we aren't doctors here but highly creative beings who find homemade tests amusing with low probability rates.
Why Vinegar?
When urine is mixed with vinegar- the idea behind testing pregnancy at home lies solely upon acidity levels ranging between pH 7-9/acidic level found within human urine). It reacts differently when exposed thus enabling us to conclude our initial suspicion.
Acetic acid undergoes any significant change whenever combined trigonally via other compounds producing contents such as acetates (specific coating results confirming test hypothesis). Acetate strip-changing pink confirms pregnancy status its accuracy has varying outcomes compared against commercialized options. Therefore, don’t celebrate on incomplete confirmation unless you’ve visited a doctor for further advice.
Conclusion
All said and done, creating your pregnancy test does seem magical even beyond belief.! Knowing that all materials used were always around your house sounds exciting too.Our methodology encompasses cutting edge ingenuity speaking volumes many possible ways jerry-rigged straightforward devices catering towards our everyday scenarios proving reliable - most times being correct. Although we recommend one seeks professional medical attention before hurrying off conclusions based off homebrew potions only because commercial methods possess better reliability indexes Nonetheless our homemade tests remain an option with gratification knowing that it's always "DIY all the way."
