Q-tip Test?!
Emerald27

Have you heard of this nonsense?!
So I was doing some googling about various TTC related things, and I came across something about a "q-tip test" for pregnancy. It was on one of those oh-so-reliable babygaga style sites. Anywho, I was curious, so I clicked.
Some woman suggested that there's a great way to tell if you *might be* pregnant early on. Swipe around your cervix with a q-tip at 10dpo, and if it comes out pink or bloody, AF is on the way. If clean, you're probably KU! Cue the trumpets rejoicing, puppies and glitter...
It wasn't just her, though. Lots of women were suggesting that this lady with a BFN (saying "oh please tell me there's still hope for me!") use the q-tip test and that it was absolutely reliable.
How strange! Have any of you heard of this before? The thought of how well such a suggestion would go over here on TTGP made me LOL.

Our awesome forum:

Trinitrotoluene: "My ears have been deflowered ....my mouth just hasn't been!"
That would be my luck too! I did some searching on other TTC sites during my first 2WW, and that contributed to part of the craziness and utter denial that I had hit CD1 when I did. I was convinced I was KU, even with the multiple BFNs. It took a couple of days, but I came back to reality.
