    If this isn’t a joke; this looks like a COVID test to me…

    Edit: TIL they use that form factor for other tests/and that not all modern pregnancy tests are sticks that you pee on…

      Working in a field were I have to perform a lot of these types of tests, you’d be surprised how many look like Covid tests at a glance - always look at the labelling.

      Also, in this form factor you’d pee into a container and pipette a very small amount into the test using the (usually) accompanying tiny pipette.

        The UK COVID test were all using this plastic moulding (minus the embossed letters) and I’ve never seen a pregnancy test that wasn’t a stick that you pee on?

        And if you’re aware that it says hCG (which I admittedly missed before commenting), then I think you answered your own question…

          Lmao, the false outrage over me not knowing that they use the same form factor for more than one test…

          I’d only ever come across it for COVID tests, the only pregnancy tests I’ve interacted with/seen advertised have been the stick versions.

        Just surprising since the sample is in a very different medium.

        Unless you’re only supposed to pee like 3 drops into this thing.

        Also, since the letters are a part of the mold, it can’t be the same mold as the covid test.

        If you can pee on that without spilling then you have much greater control than I, haha
