How to Use ToothPaste as Pregnant Test and forget about Pregnant TestKit


What Is The Toothpaste Pregnancy Test And Does It Work?
Pregnancy tests are available at the majority of supermarkets and pharmacies, but some women are using an alternative method to check if they’re pregnant, without leaving their bathroom.

The “toothpaste pregnancy test” is the cheap, DIY method gaining popula
rity and it’s just as bizarre as it sounds.
To conduct the test, women mix a small amount of their urine with some toothpaste in a dish.

Advocates of the test claim that if a woman is pregnant, the toothpaste will change colour and sometimes froth. If the woman is not pregnant, the toothpaste will remain unchanged.
It may sound far-fetched, but there’s been a recent spike in people searching “toothpaste pregnancy test” on Google, suggesting a growing number of women may be giving it a go.
There’s even a multitude of YouTube tutorials demonstrating how to do the test.

But Stuart Gale, owner and chief pharmacist at Oxford Online Pharmacy, said the test shouldn’t be taken too seriously and is not an accurate way to detect pregnancy. 
“This is a bit of fun for anyone who thinks they might be pregnant,” he told HuffPost UK.
“The fizz in the toothpaste is caused by the acid in the urine reacting with the calcium carbonate in the toothpaste to give off carbon dioxide.

“The more acidic the urine is, the greater the fizz. Whether or not a person is or isn’t pregnant wouldn’t make any difference.”
Gale added that regular pregnancy tests are 99% accurate, if used properly.
“Even if the ‘toothpaste test’ does appear to be ‘positive’ I would strongly recommend that any possible mum-to-be gets official confirmation of the fact that they are indeed pregnant with a proper pregnancy test,” he said.

According to NHS Choices, you can buy a pregnancy test to use at home from a supermarket or pharmacy, or you can ask for a test at:
:: Contraception clinics.
:: S3xu@l health clinics/ GUM clinics.
:: Some GP surgeries.
:: Most NHS walk-in centres (England only).
Except for some pharmacies and in supermarkets, pregnancy tests are usually free and are confidential, even if you’re under the age of 16.

reasons why grooms cry at wedding ceremonies

Image
While food, drinks, gorgeous attires and all those good stuff are the commonest things one would normally see at a wedding ceremony, it is also quite common to see few tears here and there. These tears could be shed by anyone, ranging from any of the couple to anyone of their parents. It’d appear that grooms are becoming increasingly emotional on their big days as more clips and photos of teary grooms keep trickling onto social media platforms and online spaces. The most recent case being gospel musician, Joe Praiz, Joanna just recently. The groom had few tears while reading his vows and had to bring out an hanky to wipe off his face before leaning in for his first kiss. While we’re just so glad that salty tears didn’t ruin the sweetness of couple’s first kiss, we also have to wonder, why could this groom have been crying? Why did Joe Praiz and all these other grooms shed tears at their individual ceremonies? It could be one of the four reasons below: 1. Overcome by emotions
