NHS doctor warns against dangerous pregnancy test TikTok trend

An NHS doctor has warned against a dangerous and completely untrue pregnancy test trend making its way through TikTok.

The clips, which are growing in popularity, are among many similar types of videos on the social media platform which contain a multitude of misinformation. In this particular trend of videos a pregnancy test is being wrongly used. In the footage, a user is seen breaking open a test and revealing what appears to be a pill inside it.

A caption accompanying the video reads: "Plan B inside pregnancy test" with a shocked emoji, hinting that there was an emergency contraceptive pill stashed inside the test. However, the idea has been completely debunked by doctors, the Mirror reports.
