Expired IC tests

I have recently started TTC for my second and have a pile of internet cheapie tests from when I was trying for my now 18 month old. I noticed they expired this month so have only just expired... would you still use them? It's quite a pile but I wonder if they are likely to give false results or if it's one of those things that they're probably still good for a bit longer.

Does anyone know much about expired tests?

Hmm... I probably would use them, OP, but being a suspicious sort I wouldn't fully trust them so I'd end up buying more tests anyway. 😂Maybe they'll be okay to give you an indication when AF is due and you'd normally expect a stronger line, but in the early stages with squinters? I'd be double-checking results.

Pregnancy tests probably are fine for a little while after they expire, but perhaps they lose the sensitivity they promise? Hard to tell.
