How Accurate Is The Dettol Test Result For Pregnancy?

I suspect I am pregnant, but the HPT has dissapointed me before. Where it showed negative 4 times, and I was pregnant, my friend told me that she used the dettol test (urine and dettol) and out of 6 times she had tried she got 2 possitives, and she has two children. Those 2 possitives are now her kids. How accurate can the dettol test be?

Hi, I have gone through your question, and I think I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options .

1 ) First of all do not panic.

2 ) In a woman with regular cycles, conception takes place on days between 13 to 16 of the cycle. If your cycles are regular, then urine pregnancy tests routinely available in the market show reliable results within 3 to 5 days of missing the periods.
You are not supposed to add any other substance to urine while performing pregnancy test.

3 ) in case of doubt blood beta HCG test and USG will be of help.

I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks
