If this isn't real, as medgadget.com suggests, then it will undoubtedly be a reality in the near future. A product called p-Teq claims to be a USB pregnancy test kit. Pee on it, plug it in to your computer, and see if you are pregnant and if so, the estimated delivery date based on the concentration of hCG, hCG-H, and LH in your urine. Not pregnant? The analysis also includes your most fertile days to help you along.
