I tested today and it came positive, this is my first so i feel like keeping the kit as a memory haha. But not sure if the strip will fade or how long it stays. Did anyone save theirs?
Beta, many girls keep it in a small box as a memory, there is no harm in that. Just make sure to wash it lightly or keep it in a plastic wrap so it stays clean. It's a sweet memory to look back on.
Yes, you can keep it as a memory, but just know that the lines might fade or change color over time. My doctor actually told me that the chemical reaction on the strip continues to dry, so it won't stay the exact same forever. If you want to save it, take a good photo first!
You can keep it as a keepsake, but don't use old tests to show your doctor as proof. They will always do a fresh test or blood check at the clinic to confirm the pregnancy safely. Just take a photo and keep the actual kit packed safely.
I also saved mine in a ziplock bag because I couldn't bear to throw it away! But I noticed the second line faded a bit after a few weeks. Did anyone find a way to preserve it without the lines disappearing?
