k....
i thought i might be pregnant. im a month and a half late on my period. i havent gained or lost a massive amount of weight recently, but i have been a bit stressed out. anyhooters, my boy and i went and got a test and i peed and all that. while we were waiting of course, i looked down at the package the test had come in and it said the expiration date was 6\02. k, it is now 8\02 as many of you should know. that means the test was two months past its date. it came out negative but i still have not commenced the bleeding. it has now been another four days since taking the test. should i go take another test or do you think a two month old test would give accurate results? im nervous....grrrr.

Try another one. I have no clue whether the expiration date is really that sensitive, but trying another some time later is generally reccomended in any case where you think you might have got a false negative, since the amount of the hormone it detects increases over time.

You might also consider going to a doctor or planned parenthood. They can do a blood test which is more accurate.
