Bought a couple of test kits in advance and now wondering if they go bad sitting in the drawer. Can i just keep them stored for later use or do they expire? Pls tell.
I completely understand the emotional value of seeing those lines, especially if you have faced losses before. If you want to keep it, definitely do so, but maybe take a clear picture of it too because sometimes the lines fade over time. Gentle hugs to you.
Look, if you mean storing a used one as a memory, yes you can, but the lines might fade or change color after a few days. If you mean storing an unused one, just keep it in a cool, dry place and check the expiry date before using. Simple as that.
I am in my second trimester now and I actually kept my positive kit in my drawer! Did anyone else do this, or is it weird? I just wanted to keep looking at those two lines because I was so anxious in the beginning.
For many of us who struggled so long to see those two lines, that test kit is like a trophy. You can absolutely store it, just clean it gently with a sanitizer wipe and keep it in a small ziplock bag. It's a beautiful reminder of your strength.
My mom told me not to keep used tests in the house because of old beliefs, but I still hid mine in my cupboard as a keepsake! If you want to keep it, just put the cap on and keep it somewhere safe. It's a sweet memory.
