Hi!



Just popping my head in to give those of you who are as crazy as I am the results of my pee-boiling and freezing experiment.
Here it is.
"Control" is just FMU.
"Heat" - I put the urine in a glass bottle and heated it in a pot of water on the stove over medium heat for 13 minutes. I let the urine reach about 50 degrees C using a candy thermometer but didn't let it exceed that temp. When I look at the test IRL, it MIGHT have an evap or very very faint line if I squint.
"Cool" - I put it in the freezer (different urine, not the stuff I boiled, but it all came from the FMU) for about 35 minutes. It had serious slush/ice chunks in it when I took it out. That test is positive and might even be a little darker than the control.

So I guess I still don't know if your test could show up a day or two SOONER if you freeze your urine or not, but at least with freezing you can still get a positive result. Not so much with heating.

If anyone goes further with these experiments, please PM me. I'd love to know I'm not the only weird one.

Best of luck and baby dust to everyone! I hope to see some of you in the June DDC when it opens up!
