All women in the world go through this process called pregnancy. Pregnancy and its gestation period is highly stress demanding time. Becoming mother is lovely but one must be prepared for it. So before conceiving a child we must confirm pregnancy, because we may want or we may not so it will be easy to make a decision before starting with anything. There are many drug kits like prega news which can give you the correct result. This kit is used in private. As there are many pregnancy kits in the market, there are many traditional methods used by our grandmothers. It uses medicinal and natural ingredients as well as being safe and efficient. Benefits: Kits available in the market can be used but home made tests can have many benefits like: Using natural ingredients for pregnancy tests is easy and nobody will be able to know about it if you do not want to expose it. Ingredients which are used in home made tests are found normally in the kitchen. This test can be performed at home easily and comfortably. Homemade test s ingredients are cost effective. Ingredients used do not expire so good to use. Principle: When a woman gets fertilized and starts to conceive the embryo, the fertilized egg descends from the fallopian tube and attaches itself to the uterine wall. At the stage of placenta formation embryos start producing a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg). This hormone enters the bloodstream and in urine. The test (home made or kit) uses antibodies of this hcg in the urine to detect the pregnancy in women. When women get pregnant she misses the successive period. During which hcg hormone concentration increases. So women must check it after her first miss of the period. We should check for pregnancy twice or thrice because it is difficult to get results. When women don't keep up with their menstruation cycle, there are chances of miscalculation of period date and women menstruate at different times in months. This might be a sign of pregnancy by miss date but must be confirmed with a pregnancy test. ;5 miu/ml of hcg is a negative test. 6 miu/ml and 24 miu/ml of hcg is a unsure test. 25 miu/ml of hcg is a positive result test. Natural test: 1) salt in the kitchen can be used to test. Ingredients needed are the morning urine sample, salt, and glass to mix. A) take a morning urine sample and a pinch of salt in a glass.

A) take a morning urine sample and add sugar in a glass. Mix it well and wait. B) hcg urine does not dissolve the sugar, it forms the lumps this means you are pregnant. C) if sugar gets dissolved, you are pregnant. 3) we eat wheat and barley in our diet. We can use it to determine the pregnancy. In this the principle is that seed if wheat and barley germinate at double rate in that urine. Ingredients required are wheat seed, urine sample, glass bowl. A) put wheat and barley seeds into a bowl and add the urine sample. Leave it for 2 days. B) if seeds germinate you are pregnant.

Ingredients needed are dandelion leaves, plastic sheet, and morning urine sample. Take a plastic sheet and spread dandelion leaves on it. Pour the urine sample over it and wait for 15 min. If you are pregnant, the leaves turn to reddish-brown or bubble formation takes place. If you are not pregnant, there will be no changes in the leaves color. 6) a test is done by storing urine. Items needed are a glass jar and a morning urine sample. Take the morning urine and place it in a glass jar. If there is a layer formation in the jar, you are pregnant. If there is no formation in the jar you are not pregnant. 7) wine can be used to detect pregnancy. Ingredients needed are morning urine samples and wine. Mix the urine and wine. Let it rest for a few minutes. If the color changes of the wine, then you are pregnant.

No reaction means you are not pregnant. 10) basal body temperature in the morning remains 37 degrees when you are pregnant. If it is lower than 37 degrees you are not pregnant. ; Conclusion: Pregnancy can be a stressful and important decision to make, so we should be confirmed on this matter.

Health Query

If I blew him, he comes on my mouth the we kissed and he started to give my vagina oral sex, can I get pregnant from that? Also my boobs is swelling and veiny and been having cramps but my period predictor said, i'm about to get my period on nov 8. However, right now as I burped a little spit went up my throat and tasted bitter. I did some research and it says that it could be a sign of pregnancy? Ive been also getting some pain on my lower right stomach and my stomach feels tight. But i'd like to note that I have never had sex just some foreplays such as dry humping, oral sex, 69, and masturbation. I'd just like a clarification if is those are symptoms because im pregnant, or is there something else? (i had three pregnancy test (oct 14, 17, and oct 25) and all negative) - my last period is oct 9 and next is expected on nov 8)

From your description pregnancy is not likely.
If you miss period may do pregnancy test to be on safe side (test is important only if you do on missing period not before that.)
if want to do earlier- it is blood test serum hcg-beta.
