Is this a joke?
No. I’m a woman and my view was that you might miss one, but that was common enough. Well, perhaps I’m just an uniformed dinosaur. Of course I was always pro-life so the idea I might be pregnant never freaked me out that much and I was never going to be getting an abortion, so how “early” it was wasn’t ever an issue. I suppose it might be different today, we didn’t have any over-the-counter pregnancy tests or anything like that back in my day.
