1970s home pregnancy tests!
I came across this on a nostalgia website and just had to share it.
This is an ad for the first ept- from 1978.
I couldn't get over how primitive this test looked compared to today's pee on a stick tests.
The test took 2 HOURS to give a result!
And you had to test at least 9 DAYS after your missed period!
And check out that contraption- you had to read your results in a mirror on the bottom of the test tube!
We've come a long way baby!

 That first E.P.T. test looks soooooo complicated. Too funny. Boy do we have it easier these days.
