Ahhh! Freaking out type vent

I went off the Implanon two months ago because they were causing bad migraines. We have been using condoms since while I wait for my paragard to come in. I have only had one period since and it was Oct 19th so I have no idea when I am supposed to start because I'm not sure what my cycles are like yet. But I am possibly late.

Well for some reason I felt compelled to check the box of the condoms we have been using. They effing expired in June!!!!! Good grief DH!

I took a pregnancy test which came back negative, but that doesn't make me feel better. I didn't get a positive test with my first until 7 weeks!!! I can NOT be pregnant, I am about to start the nursing program. Pity party vent over./

Expiry just means they will start to deteriorate. If it held up you are probably safe. Better hit the store tomorrow for a fresh pack.

Definitely will. I'm just worried that there might have been little micro tears. Last time I trust DH with the birth control.

Well good luck. Hopefully it turns out the way you want it to. Darn DH! Lol.

They were probably fine if you stored them at the proper temp. They can't be good in May and not in June. There's probably a range when they stop holding up as well and if I were to guess the manufacturers were cautious and wrote an earlier date to cover their butts. I'm just guessing here, but an expired condom is a whole lot better than pulling out or a condom stored in a wallet.
