There are some old wives tales about homemade pregnancy tests using toothpaste, bleach and such. You can google "toothpaste pregnancy test" and/or "bleach pregnancy test." There is, of course, no real evidence that either of these work any better than say flipping a coin and saying if it's heads you're pregnant. So I wouldn't use these methods as a definitive answer. However, if you're just looking for something fun to do and you aren't going to put weight into the results you can try those.

I will caution with the bleach pregnancy test that the fumes of urine+bleach are hazardous so you need to do it in a very well ventilated area.

Sorry you're snowed in but hopefully you can find something fun to do while you wait it out. Best of luck!

I did bleach pregnancy test and would advise not to do it in your house if at all fumes are very stronge but I got a positive on mine will let you know soon if it works or not

I had shooting pains in my boobs during the tww on each pregnancy cycle I had and have never had it outside of pregnant cycles. Regarding the bleach test I wouldn't risk it as the chlorine fumes are hazardous to you and baby. Just get a test if bleach testing is your only other option. I read something about spit (or was it pee) reacting in a particular way when added to water if pregnant. No obvious reaction or anything. It is meant to float or sink or something. I can't remember Im sorry. But it may be a fun thing to look up and try! Best of luck!
