Pregnant goat question

I know it's almost impossible (for recent newbies at least) to tell if a goat is pregnant...but I had to ask this anyways:

Could you use a human pregnancy kit on a doe?

I'm "almost" positive that she's bred (no goat screaming every 21 days, no pink behind, no big goo, etc.). But last time she was supposed to be in heat, I "think" her behind was a bit pink.....although I may be imagining it because I'm worried about her not being pregnant. She also had a little "drip" of goo several weeks after her date, but she had that last time and she WAS pregnant.

She was the only doe we had bred this year & I'd hate to not have milk come spring.

pregnancy test for humans does not work. you can send blood to biotracking for testing. cost only $7.50 and is very accurate. for just $4 more you can also have her tested for cae
