Around US$1 each, but usually you'll have to order 5 strips.

Wait about 10 months and see if a baby pops out, but I am sure you don't want to wait that long

Good luck

Hi there, well assuming you are in the US

1)you can buy them at any local drug store or food store

2)you can go to planned parenthood, or many local heath centers for women, there you can get these things(birth control included) on a sliding scale. which means it is based on your income (having none means its close to if not free)

3) the cost of an over the counter pregnancy test ranges from $10 - $14, many of them have two tests inside.

4) again see a local clinic, most will help you out. There are many physical signs that you may be but, to be sure you must test. They are testing for a hormone that is present during pregnancy, no other way to tell for sure!

yeah some tests are about $10 or more. I think the cheap ones you dont know the true results until about 5 months. the costly ones you'll know right then.
