Picking up on something from the comments, I'm curious if the medical establishment's obsessive concern with potential fetuses is a relatively new thing or not. I gather that when obtaining just about any prescription or medical treatment which could impact fetal health in any tiny way, women have to convince doctors that not only are they not pregnant, but that they couldn't possibly be. This of course requires having abstained or abstaining from intercourse for a nontrivial amount of time.
I know in Carelink they don't trust the woman at all. They do pregnancy test for any drug/treatment that may interfere with fetuses. Even if the last pregnancy test was 3 days ago.
