Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and understand your concern.
Dettol pregnancy test is positive if bubbles or foam is formed in the surface after mixing urine with dettol. If no change happens after mixing urine and dettol than it is less likely you are pregnant. Still dettol pregnancy test is not an accurate test and can be difficult to read.
If you would like to know for sure if you are pregnant please buy a pregnancy test in the pharmacy, you don't need to buy an expensive one, they are all very accurate so buy one you can afford. Use the first urine in the morning for better results and read it within the first 30-60 seconds. If it shows 2 lines than you are pregnant. If it shows only one line than it is not detecting pregnancy and a repeat test in 2-3 days is recommended.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Kind regards,
