This is because ammonia in your urine can potentially react with the bleach, producing irritating fumes.

Do pregnancy tests really detect testicular cancer?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Doctor, I have a query. We had intercourse during the fertile window, confirmed by follicular scan showing good egg quality and ovulation, but I still got my period this week. All my reports, including LH and blood tests, are normal with no signs of PCOS. Is there something that might be going wrong?
