If you used OPKs

I have a quick question.

I bought some after we had been TTC #1 a little bit, but I recieved them in the mail 5 hours after my BFP. We are hoping to start trying again Nov/Dec of this year. That will be 2.5 years after I ordered them, will they still be good? I don't even know exactly what I got, they were just come cheapy pee strips, i think. I never opened the package! I shoved them in my bathroom cabinet!

Still going to be ok? It was only like $10, so it's no great loss.

Check the box, most of them will have use-by dates.

I would guess that they're probably expired or close to it, but you never know, you might get a cycle or two out of them (depending on how many you got).

IC's in the foil pouches will have a good until date on them. I suppose you could use them even if they are expired but who knows how accurate they'd be.
