Using expired NW OPKs, worth it?

Hi All, I have been tracking my cycle a little bit since it returned post baby. I have some old NW freebie OPKs. I don't need them to pin point ovulation for an insemination right now. They expired in 2011! Do you think it would be worth using them at all? Thanks for your thoughts. Baby dust!

    I wouldn't use them...you want accurate info. I know it bites the wallet to buy them though.

    Don't use them, they won't be accurate and you'll learn nothing.

    If you're just doing it for fun and you're going to throw them away anyway...why not pee on them first???

    OK I'm not going to use them. It's not for inseming anytime soon, but I do want accurate info. I was hoping maybe they don't actually go bad and someone knew that for sure. We can hope! For now I'll just get a box of 20 smileys and just use them sparingly for now. Thanks ladies!

    It would depend on how many I had. Do you have a tone? Why not try using them along with the smilies and see if they are accurate? Could be frustrating but could be an interesting experiment since you have time to play around :)
