Amenorrhea

The term amenorrhea is used by doctors to describe the absence of menstruation. 亲爱的 did not have her period for consecutive 2 months, and that could be due to a number of factors and conditions. Since it is also the hallmark of early pregnancy, we thought that we should at least do a pregnancy test to rule out this possibility. Just before I leave for Xiamen, I bought this pregnancy test kit from Guardian Pharmacy.



This is how the test strip looks like. There is a hole on the right that requires a few drops of urine. The rectangular box in the middle is the indicator.

In the evening, I asked 亲爱的 to collect her urine specimen, and the results is as follows:

So the instructions stated that if it is one line, then negative, but if it is two lines, then positive. Phew, what a relief! Now that we can rule out pregnancy, I'm actually quite worried for her health. She said that she has never experience this before. I hope it is not because she has too much sex hormones.
