If your period has stopped and you haven't completely filled the oval, place your used Q-Strip(s) in the Storage Container and ship it to us. The lab may still be able to analyze your sample. It's sometimes possible to get a result from a small sample on a single Q-Strip. If you used Q-Pad 1 only, you can dispose of Q-Pad 2. Please note that once you have started using a kit, you will not be able to split it across two menstrual cycles, so we encourage you to send even just the single strip back.
