{{quote|''In time, the test and science advanced enough for the doctor to be able to check whether the rabbit had an estrous reaction without killing it, much to the relief of cute little fluffy bunnies everywhere.''|Karl Smallwood, ''Today I Found Out'', "[http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2016/06/time-rabbits-used-accurately-detect-pregnancy/ The Surprisingly Recent Time Tests Using Rabbits and Frogs Were the Gold Standard to Accurately Detect Human Pregnancy]"}}
In the long-gone days before fifteen-minute home pregnancy tests made it obsolete, the only way a woman had to find out she was pregnant -- at least before the physiological effects made it obvious -- was the classic "rabbit test". Properly known as the "Friedman test", this involved injecting a female rabbit with a woman's urine, and then examining its ovaries a few days later to see if they had enlarged from the presence of the hormone [[w:Human chorionic gonadotropin|hGC]] in it.
