   Does anyone know a place to get cheap tests quickly or free ones done in the kapiti or manawatu area?
 I have ordered some from US but they wont be here for about another week and I REALLY REALLY wanna test now!    Any help will be much appreciated!

   If you're really keen, why not try a chemist / supermarket? I know it's a couple more dollars, but if you're that eager, it might be worth it? (Actually, I'm dead keen to hear the results too      )

   Although if you do go buy one, I would def try and find a discover as they are the most sensitive and reliable...
Even if you ring your Drs nurse on mon and ask for a referal (if they dont do it themselves) its still free (ive done both before..)

   Isn't the doc's test only free if its positive? I'm not sure though. I got a 3-pack of first response tests for $16-ish at the supermarket. If you are that desperate to test just go get one... and then tell us the result    |

   Community Birth Services in Palmerston North will give you a free pregnancy test but they are definitely not open at the weekend. Unfortunately I don't think many places that you could get a free test/consultation from will be.
 Fingers crossed for a BFP    |

   I would properly do another test or wait another day, definately sounds dodgy!
