Missing Period - Priceless

It's day 37! since the first day of my last period.
I took a pregnancy blood test (hCG) on day 32 which came back negative.
My family physician said there's nothing much to do but sit and wait (and keep trying- duh?), and that there's no point in seeing a gynecologist before It's 90 days late...

5 Pregnancy Test Strips $8.48 CAD

Order was made on Feb 11th by Ground Post, it arrived on Feb 15th.
It was sent from North Vancouver, and since there was a weekend in the middle, it took only 3 business days to deliver.


Here's the breakdown:
$5.86 5 Pregnancy Strips by Ground Post
$0.59 Packaging & Shipping
$6.45 Grand Total (U.S. dollars)

$8.48 CAD is what was charged on my credit card.

Each strip is wrapped individually and there are no instructions in the package.



For Complete test instructions and photos, click here.

I made myself a small note with the
instructions to go with the test:
- Arrow pointing down,
- Do not immerse past Max line,
- 3 Seconds (no more than 5 seconds),
- Results in 40 seconds to 5 min.

Took the first test today - even though I'm not 'officially late' yet - it was negative.
