Tell Your Story

Add your story to the history of the pregnancy test kit! The Exploring and Collecting History Online: Science and Technology Project at the Center for History and New Media (CHNM) at George Mason University is collecting these personal stories for historical and educational use only.

Please note: These surveys will not be used for marketing purposes. Participation is voluntary, can be anonymous, and you will not be added to any mailing list. CHNM at George Mason University is solely responsible for maintaining the surveys.

Note: all information given will be posted on a public response page unless otherwise noted.

Please describe your first experience with a home pregnancy test. (What year was it, how old were you, and where were you living? Were you at home, somewhere else, alone, or with someone?)

Was the test easy to purchase and use? Did you use more than one test or brand? Did you feel comfortable purchasing the test?

Did you know what you wanted the result to be? What was your reaction when you got the result?

If you took a pregnancy test before home pregnancy tests were widely available in 1978, please describe your experience.

If you've taken a home pregnancy test more than once, please describe how the experiences were different.
