Was it a Wal Mart receipt? Wal Mart has a generic brand "Equate". I could tell you are desperate for an answer, so I wanted to post this to you....I haven't had a chance to read up on why you're asking, but I hope I have not given you too bad of news GH.

GH, I've been lurking for weeks and finally got off my butt to register to answer your question: Equate is a Walmart brand if it is a WM receipt. Heatherg is correct. And if there was only one test in the package, $3.62 is a decent discount-brand price. Sorry to de-lurk with crap news.
Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Is 43:18-19
If it seems slow in coming, wait. It's on its way. It will come right on time. Hab 2:3
Stay strong. You have come so far. You can get through this too. You have been my inspiration for months. I know I do not post on your thread very often but please know that you have MANY people who are cheering you on and feeling your pain. You are not alone in this.
I dispensed with the script at the last minute because something inside told me that too much talking was bad and would just seem like me trying to build drama so...
M: W, can we talk for a minute. W: Sure. M: Can we sit down. W: Ok, what's up. M: First, I'm sorry I am a little nervous talking about this with you. I also want you to uderstand that through all this, I never tried to find things out. I never snooped. W: Yes, I know. M: Well, the other day, when you asked me to do your laundary, I was cleaning out your pockets and I found a reciept from a Walmart in xxx. W: Ok. (she didn't seem to be nervous about what I was saying) M: On it was a pregnancy test. W: Yes, I know. I was picked up by a friend, and yes, it's someone who knows HIM and I went with her because she asked me. M: So it wasn't yours? W: NO, I could only be pregnant from immaculate conception. I have not had sex for as long as you haven't. M: Ok. So you went with a friend and you paid for the test for her to take? W: Yes. I was already buying some things and she was nervous to buy it. M: Ok. W: So you got all worked up over this? I knew someting was wrong. I asked you several times over the past couple days what was up (she did). I know you, and I knew you were stewing over something. M: Do you blame me? What does it look like? W: I know what it looks like and I understand why you thought what you did but I can only tell you it had nothing to do with me.
From there insued a LONG (3 hours) R talk and a TON of new territory was covered. WAY too much to get into here.
The main points that kept comming up was that she wants me to just be direct and honest RIGHT AWAY when I find something like that in the future. She did't like that it took a few days but is glad I talked to her.
All in all, it was VERY good. We ended up talking about a lot of things in detail that we either never talked about before or only touched on.
I have to say, I believe her. I do believe her story for some reason and that comes for the entire conversation. It just seems like she isn't hiding anything. She told me all kinds of thing about OM and his friends. She answered any question I had.
Hi GH, I am so happy to read this news. Will look forward to hearing about the whole talk. But I am with your wife! She is giving you free rein to be yourself, and not hold back. Bravo! I am quite sure you made significant progress tonight. Good job, my friend

When you ASSume you make an ASS out of U and Me ....
Stick with it GH - you are doing great - she is still there with you - she wants you in her life - smelly t-shirts aside she has been relatively honest with you ...
Please see how much good and hope there is in this sitch rather than tying yourself in knots about things you can't control or even really understand. She's on her journey and you are on yours. They are parallel and sometimes tightly wound together, but they are separate.
Get that, and you'll be able to rebuild your relationship with loving and open trust.
That's what she's saying to you - she's screaming out for you to talk to her, ask her what's going on, rather than imagining entire scenarios in your mind.
She wants you to love her unconditionally and when you can - not by following the DB principles, but by owning them, being them - then she'll come back to you.
You've seen it happen with her before, when you detached fully, she came. You know it works - use it my friend.
