Pregnant??? How to find out.

[SmallFarmGirl]

Dear Friends,
I have 2 does. Both have been bred, but I don't know if they're pregnant or not.
I know all about blood tests, but I'm hesitant for a couple of reasons.

1.I can't do blood, I start feeling sick, and I hate to make my goats upset.... :/
2. my 2nd goat stresses out easily, so I don't want to bring her to the vet. :/

The were bred mid October. I really would LOVE an easier option besides the blood test.
Neither does have gone into heat after the breeding, and Betty, (Who has been pregnant 4-5 times.) is already looking bigger.
Could I do a simple human pregnancy test??? Or would that not work?? Is there an easier option???
Please help!

Human pregnancy test won't work. Will your vet make a farm call?

Hmm... got to call and try that. WHy did I not think of that???

What about a breeder/other goat owner that is close that has experience drawing blood? They might do it free or really cheap.
