Testing for hcg in breastmilk

Jennifer • Boy mama to two boys, 6 and 3 💙💙

So I don’t need any hate, I know how you’re supposed to use an hpt! Buuuuut 😂 I saw a post in a mommy group I’m in that you could possibly test early using breast milk and it would show sooner than urine!! Well curiosity got the best of me and I gave it a whirl yesterday at 10dpo.

So I thought no way it snows a second line... but it did and it was a strong second line . I even did a second test and diluted the milk by half with water and still got a second line with color.

Has anyone done this and actually had it be accurate?! So curious! I’ve heard it can be protein in the milk, but cows milk didn’t work and a lot of posts I read online said their milk didn’t give them any line whatsoever!

I want to try this. I am not pregnant, so I am curious what would happen.

I can post the evap. It is a dried test and invalid, but just to show it.

At 10 dpo you could possibly see a line with urine. I personally wouldn’t trust the breast milk thing.

Agreed! Just thought it was wild that it was that dark and I’m sooooo curious to know why some women get positives and others do not

This is interesting but I’m curious if you have done a urine test to see what the result was ?

Negative! So odd, I so badly want to know what makes it positive! Unless it’s just not enough in my urine yet , but I’m 12 dpo and used an frer

My first evap on an easy@home test doing it this way. Test the next morning. Very faint but there in the dye run.

Makes a pretty big dye run and took longer to get through the strip haha. But definitely negative, which makes sense since I am not pregnant.
