Woman's Friend Mistakes Her COVID-19 Test For Pregnancy Test In Hilarious Text Exchange

A woman was involved in a hilarious text exchange when her friend mistook her positive Covid-19 test for a pregnancy announcement, leading to an awkward conversation about her symptoms.

After testing positive, Helen Phillips, a businesswoman, sent a picture of her lateral flow tests to a friend, who works as a doctor.

When her friend asked how she felt, she replied to say she had a minor cough and sore throat but "nothing major". But later her friend asked her if she was happy with the result which expectedly left Helen confused.

She replied ¡°About having Covid? I¡¯m not ecstatic about it but as long as symptoms stay minor." It was then that both realised that they were talking about two very different tests. ¡°Oh!!!!! I thought they were pregnancy tests," her friend said.

Talking about the hilarious exchange in a lighter vein, Helen said, ¡°I hope my friends wouldn¡¯t expect me to announce my pregnancy by sharing pictures of ¡°pee sticks" on social media.¡±

Helen mentioned that she thought her friend knew her well enough to know that Helen would never inform her pregnancy with pictures of her pee stick.

Excusing the confusion, Helen¡¯s doctor friend said, ¡°I wondered why someone would mention having a cough and sore throat, but anyhow I just went with it."

¡°I didn¡¯t think much about the pictures when Helen sent me. I was half asleep and it was 6 am when it happened. Helen and I have been best friends for years and it¡¯s the sort of thing she¡¯d do. It¡¯s a good way to start the day, really," she further added.

Helen had been planning a work event for months but she tested positive just a day before the event, and now she is forced to take off from the work.
