positive on out of date test

Hi,
I took a test this morning which has come up as positive but I have just realised it is a year out of date!

Anyone had any experience of this? I think it could be a false positive.

Apparently expired tests often show false positives

I'm in shock. This wasn't planned. We have 3dc already.
I am so sorry, this must seem so incredibly unfair to people but I have no one to speak to. I'm not ready to share this with the real world.
I have no idea what to do. Dh definitely does not want more children and we are not in a good position to be expanding our family. (Dh might have to work away for the next few years so I'm already stressed to high heavens!)
But my heart has always been against abortion.
To make matters worse I have very little clue as to how far gone I am. I have PCOS and can go months without a period and it be totally normal. My last period was early Feb!
I have none of the symptoms I had with the others.
I'm terrified and can't think straight.

@grumpy19 oh dear. Tough situation. I hope you and your Mr and sort this out.

Before making any decisions, find out how pregnant you are.

Once you know that, you can make realistic decisions.

Good luck.

So I am still in a pickle!
I told DH on Friday evening. As predicted he would rather we went down the termination route. I told him that I feel it very much depends upon how far gone I am.
(Again, I do apologise to people ttc. Believe it or not it took 2 years for my to fall with dc1 and was about to begin clomid when I found out I was expecting)
So I could be anything from 4 weeks to 14 weeks.
I am now analysing everything about my body. I feel like my trousers are tight but I'm not sure if that is just me over thinking or eating to much.
I am waiting to hear back about a scan date.
Just so, so confused. This could not be at a worse moment for us practically and I really felt my family was complete but now...
