I was just over on Ebay looking for hpts. I noticed that you can get really good deals-on EXPIRED tests.

Anyone use tests past their dates? Best to just use "fresh" tests? What do you think ladies?

Anyone know of a good site to buy from for cheap?

Thanks in advance!

I've seen the deals on expired ones and wondered the same. I checked one of the manufacturer's websites and they said NOT to use them after the expiration date, so I decided not to bid. I know that no matter the outcome...pos or neg...I'll be thinking "this is an expired test...can I believe the results?" so what would be the point, KWIM?

I've purchased from two sellers on Ebay. I like the tests from earlypregnancytests.com (they also sell on Ebay) because they are wider and clearer than the other cheapies.

They work just fine!! go buy them!!! Bobbie bouth a metric ton of them (700) and she handed them out. those would be the lucky tests we all refer to. If you look in the subforum about hpt's/opks youll see britt did and experiment with them every week to see if they showed false pos or anything and they did great. i still have like 4 that i can prolly pee on and make sure they r still good.

I havent bought any that were expired but i did get some of Bobbies lucky ones and those were expired, they worked well and lots of ladies got their BFPS on them! g/l hun.

I've still got a couple of the lucky ones and other than the fact that they haven't been so luck for me (STILL WAITING ON MY BFP!!! AHEM!) they work great!

i got soome of bobbie's expired tests and yep they are lucky
they've been exp for a few months now, but i started testing at around 8dpo, and got bfn until 13 dpo. then each day they've been getting darker and darker. that to me seems like they 're working just fine. if they aren't too $$, i say go for it!

Thanks ladies! I went with 36 First Response tests that are good until November 2008 Now they have to hurry up and get here...I'm 4dpo-I should be testing already Plus I'm POAS deprived-I've only been able to test ONCE since January!

HAHA so are you actually going to wait til they come, or will you break down and buy regular ones first?

Yeah, I *think* I can wait (they should ship tomorrow ). I've never had anything show before 11dpo, so I have a little time (BUT I will run to the $Tree if necessary!
