OPK mistake

[psychobutthead]

Hi ladies,
So I have a question about a mistake I stupidly made. We are TTC and I had some OPK's still from previously TTC. So I had been using these OPK's since my period ended and I went ahead an ordered more but was going to finish up using the ones I already had. BTW they're Wondfo brand incase that matters. Anyway like a dumbass I never checked to see if they where expired. For some reason today I decided to check and sure enough they'll be expired for one year this April.

So my question is should I just erase everything that I had kept track of from these tests? I've been using an app to input the results of my test and other lovely details for "O"ing. SO should I just ditch all the test results and start new with the current test and just start entering my data as of tomorrow?

I take it you have only been using these tests for a few days this cycle so far?

If you have gotten positives I would probably disregard those just to be safe. Maybe make a note of them but not input them into the app... In case you are worried about confusing the data points. I am only familiar with Fertility Friend so I am not sure about what app you are using. It shouldn't be a huge deal. Just start using your new ones once you get them. And keep having sex regardless!!

^ What she said. I mean, the only data you're inputting is + or - so I might take it out and just note what the result is if I cared enough...

How long are your cycles normally? Unless they're super short it seems like a waste to start using OPKs immediately after your period. Again, unless they're really short OR you aren't sure, you can *usually* just start testing toward the middle of a 'normal' cycle.

Link your chart?

Oh I totally glossed over that I guess.... Yea chances are if you started using them right after your period you weren't really getting much useful data anyway.

What CD are you now? And how long are your cycles usually?
