Pregnancy Tests

I always wonder about what to say to people who buy pregnancy tests. I mean it's pretty standard small talk for most people buying OTC medicines. Woman comes in with a headache looking for paracetamol and as she leaves you say "Ah, these should do the trick now for you". Or a man buying anti-histamines and you tell him "Ah well, hopefully these will stop the sneezing anyway".

I'm always unsure of what to say to people buying pregnancy tests. "Best of luck with that now" doesn't quite seem to fit the bill. Maybe something like, "Hope you get the answer you were looking for".

It's particularly awkward with nervous figidty boyfriends sent in by their (late) partners and they have a look of apprehension written all over their faces.
