Old Pregnancy Tests? Turns Out, They're In Demand! (P.S. Do You Save Your Pregnancy Tests?)
by Sarah Jio
http://your-health-and-life.blogspot.com/Thirty five years ago, e.p.t. released the first at-home pregnancy
test kit. Apparently the kit that debuted in 1977 (a year before I was
born!), was far from the sleek little test strips we know and love
today. (We've come a long way, baby!) In fact, it included test tubes
and other medical supplies and required two hours to give a result. Can
you imagine?!
And, guess who is in search of these old-style pregnancy tests? The Smithsonian! The institution is working on a pregnancy test exhibit and is in search of old fashion pregnancy test kits. The FDA is on the case, too. “Everyone wants one,” says FDA historian John Swann. “It’s a collector’s item.”
What aren't collector's items are the stash of used pregnancy tests some women hold onto as keepsakes after they test positive. (A friend of mine has one for each of her three babies taped into their baby memory books.)
What do you think? Is saving used pregnancy tests cute or kind of gross?
P.S. Read and pass on: new warnings about antidepressants during pregnancy. And, eat this, get pregnant? The pregnancy diet that experts say works!

It is not a mystery that there are days of month when a woman is most expected to become pregnant after a sexy intercourse. When a woman is ovulating chances are higher that she gets pregnant.I think women should have more precautions during the old age pregnancy.
