My way of figuring out my wife was pregnant was the 3:00am foot in my back, propelling me out of bed because she craved chocolate covered french fries with the little colored candy sprinkles on top.
Who needs EPT when you have THAT?

How about the new USB pregnancy tests floating around? Pee on the stick and then pop it into the USB port of your computer.

Pops up with a happy little baby face if you’re pregnant.

The smell of charred, urine-soaked ribbon might be enough to make anyone nauseous, no???

airship – that doesn’t sound much better! why couldn’t she just wait to find out if she was pregnant or not? you only have to wait a month.

on another note, my father is a chemist so he could always tell my mom whether or not she was pregnant by taking some of her urine to work. (eew that sounds kind of gross actually). she still had to take a real pregnancy test at the doctor’s office though because the insurance company wouldn’t allow self-diagnosis!

There’s an episode of M.A.S.H. where Hawkeye performs a pregnancy test using Radar’s pet rabbit. When Radar learns that the rabbit must be killed, he withdraws his permission. Hawkeye agrees to perform the test by performing surgery on the rabbit and merely removing the relevant organ. I forget which organ is involved in the test, but I think it was the ovaries.

very interesting. I liked the bit about old home pregnancy tests.
