RE office question because I am bored

in Trouble TTC

Does your RE have HPTs sitting on the counter at the receptionist desk?  My RE does along with panty liners.  Confused

I am curious if they are there for the taking or if they are used in the practice.  I can't imagine they would have patients POAS when they do b/w to check for pregnancy.  I keep meaning to ask but I am embarrassed to admit that I would be a peeaholic if I could get HPTs for free.

Just wondering...

    No, but my RE's office is a little low rent.  It's attached to a hospital and you can tell the hospital runs the show.

    There's nothing on the counter at my RE's office except business cards.  I do have to supply a urine sample at each appointment, even though they are also running b/w.  They also give me HPTs every time I go in there.

    My RE's ofice doesn't have them.  I will say, I might actually use HPTs if they were free!

    Nope, but in the u/s room we have a private bathroom where you undress for your u/s and in that bathroom they have pads. They also have the pads in the procedure rooms.

    They definitely don't!  Just ask next time you're there, since that's probably what they're there for!  Just like lollipops at the bank!

    Nope, no peesticks.  Just sandlewood scented diffuser sticks in little glass bowels everywhere throughout the office.  I wonder if they know how much I hate that smell... it smells like failure...

    Nope! They're not on the counter, but I do know they have HPTs there because when I got my + HPT last cycle they had me take one of there's just to ease my mind before I went in for the b/w.

    That's an odd place to keep them!  My office has pads and tampons in the changing rooms and bathrooms, but no HPTs anywhere that I have seen.
