[blparent] Inaccessible Ovulation Tests and Pregnancy Tests

[Sarah Clark]

Another point I forgot to mention is that when a sighted person gets a 
positive result on a home pregnancy test, she may not wish to share with 
anyone that she is pregnant, especially that early. Often the parents-to-be 
want to wait until a pregnancy is confirmed by ultrasound, etc before 
announcing it. Sighted people get to decide when they want to share the news 
with other people. But the inaccessibility of home pregnancy tests do not 
allow us to have this option.
