Found a pregnancy test wrapper in workplace toilet and I am trying to figure out whose it is

I am in a workplace where more than two thirds of the staff could be classified as women of childbearing age. I went to the toilet yesterday and saw the wrapper from an early response pregnancy test. It was in plain view right next to the sink. The test stick itself was not there. I was surprised that whoever used it didn't just put it in the bin. I am wondering if they were so shocked (or overjoyed) by the result that they just forgot all about the packaging. When I was pregnant myself, I always did the tests at home. I couldn't imagine doing one at work, though I am sure plenty of women do. I've not asked anyone at work about or mentioned it and don't plan to. Yet I haven't been able to stop myself looking out for subtle hints. I am keeping an eye out to see if anyone is looking a bit peaky, rushing off to the toilet to be sick, rubbing their belly or doing anything that could be construed as a sign of pregnancy. I am secretly hoping that whoever has used the test was hoping for a BFP and got one.

I took a test in a Tesco toilet and then went and sat in the car park before looking. Don't look out for symptoms, that's weird af.

Mind your own business. You're the worse sort of colleague.

@DuploTrain @FatFilledTrottyPuss @VerityUnreasonble I'm glad that you saw my post for what it was intended to be. It was a bit of light-hearted fun. Unfortunately it seems to have ruffled a lot of people's feathers. Also @PurpleChrayn I'm 55 not 13!

It wasn’t the person who left the condom wrapper a few weeks before!
