The First Home Pregnancy Test


When you think of a home pregnancy test, the image of a testing strip or stick with a +/- probably comes to mind.
 
But did you know that in 1350 BCE in Egypt, women had another version of a HPT? If a woman thought she was pregnant, she would urinate on a pile of barely and wheat seeds. Then, she would wait to see what happened. If the barley grew, she was believed to be pregnant with a boy. If the wheat grew, she was believed to be having a girl. If nothing grew, then she was not pregnant. Definitely a different picture of the 2WW (two week wait)! Smile
 
When doctors here replicated this method, they found it to be 70% accurate! The only difference was that the sex of the baby was not predicted by the type of seed that grew.  Doctors believe that the pregnancy hormone in the urine stimulates the growth of the seeds.
 
Kind of fun!

Note that you are most likely to get pregnant if you time your lovemaking to occur on the days right before - and on - your ovulation date. Keep in mind that the projected ovulation date above is simply a “best guess” estimate based on your cycle date information. The most accurate way to pinpoint your most fertile time is through the use of urine-based ovulation tests or with a fertility monitor. We have partnered with Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com, the Internet’s leading supplier of preconception products since 2001, to offer low-cost, FDA-approved pregnancy and ovulation tests – with free same-day shipping.

 

Now that you’ve calculated your ovulation date using our ovulation calculator, we have a number of other helpful tools you can use to help increase your chances of conceiving.

 

  • Create your own personalized ovulation calendar! You can even provide an email address so that you receive email alerts of your most fertile days, when you can begin testing for pregnancy, and more.
     

  • Create your own personalized fertility chart! This is a highly accurate way to pinpoint your ovulation date that relies primarily on basal temperature charting. (Visit Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com for an accurate, inexpensive basal thermometer.)
     

  • Connect with others at our online community! If you have questions about trying-to-conceive – or if you just want to vent a bit – we have a wonderful, vibrant community of people who’d just love to hear from you.

Find your most fertile time.
