Here’s the thing – If you need a pregnancy test that says “Pregnant” or “Not pregnant” on a display because “does it have a blue line or not?” is too complex a concept, then you’re really not ready to potentially be a parent.
It’s not quite that simple. Partly because if you’re taking a pregnancy test, you’re likely to be quite worked up and stressed. Also, tests vary, and can sometimes be if one line, or if two lines then you are or aren’t, sometimes lines come out very faint. So with something like this, I can understand why people want something completely unambiguous.
I 1892345% agree with Clair. It is not as clear cut and easy peasy as you like to think it is. At all at all at all. And while I hate statements like this I do think it is true – I don’t think any man would truly understand what it is like to be using one of these things even as the father to-be. So, on this one, I think you are out of your league.
