I am normally pretty irregular, so for me to take the test when I expect my period is really hit or miss. But, shouldn't the test be accurate two weeks after the possible date of conception (right before I thought I ovulated), regardless of the fact that I never have a 28 day cycle and am usually more 35 days, plus or minus 5?
I mean, I just figure that you're more fertile when you ovulate, then 14 days later is when you get your period, and that's when you would take the test. So, that's when I could take the test, right? So the negative result I got IS a negative, RIGHT?!? Or am I just totally totally wrong here because I never paid attention AT ALL in sex ed?
That's the first question.
Second - the test I took is a month expired (a leftover from when I was multiple testing my prior pregnancy) But a month expired isn't a big deal, right? it should still be accurate?! I know for my first, I used an expired test and I tested positive clearly. and that test was probably a year expired.
thanks!
