4. Toothpaste Pregnancy Test:

This method is considered to be a reliable test for detecting pregnancy. You need a blob of plain toothpaste (not a gel or other modern versions) in a small bowl. Pour the urine on this and mix well. After some time, you can notice these changes- bubbling and color turn to blue indicating positive results and no change in the mixture, indicating a negative result.
