Positive PCR today...all plans fucked 😔

Took a lateral flow yesterday as I started to feel awful in a short space of time, this was positive. Booked a PCR immediately and got the results this afternoon which were positive.

I'm so upset. This was my first Christmas with my new partner and his family. We had a huge party planned for tomorrow at his house, we've spent all week preparing and shopping for it. And its all ruined.

I woke up alone today, I'm by myself all day and I can't see anyone all week. I'm so lonely, upset and to top it all off I feel like death.

Luckily my lovely neighbour put a Christmas lunch and dessert on my doorstep and my friend is dropping another off later so I'm not missing out on that.

But, why now? I've spent the last nearly 2 years following all guidance and rules. I've limited contact. I got vaccinated as soon as I could. It just feels so unfair. I just want to cry and stamp my feet. I know people are a lot worse off than me and some people are incredibly ill, but I just need a whinge about it really!

So sorry OP. I got my positive yesterday at 5:30pm. Was supposed to be having parents and in-laws over today and had to cancel them all.

Luckily I have DH and DS living here so I’m not alone (although I am upstairs on my own) but it is so utterly shitty to have to cancel Christmas for the second year running.

Sending get well vibes your way!

Sorry you feel so unwell OP. Similar happened here, though it’s my teenage daughter who tested positive this morning and we’ve also managed to avoid it up until now. Loads of plans ruined. It seems that omicron is unavoidable. Hope you feel better soon.

I hope you feel better soon.

At least you got a positive result before you did your Christmas socialising and you've done exactly what you needed to do to not spread Covid to others.

I'm glad you got a Christmas dinner. There will be other Christmases and the opportunity to socialise once your better. Hopefully as your vaccinated that may well only be 7 days.

Yep, was preparing lunch for 12 people today….all took lft’s and my 13 year old tested positive. Lunch cancelled and trip to walk in for pcr tests…..not how we planned to spend Christmas

Thank you all for your good wishes. Im just feeling so sorry for myself. I had planned and micromanaged to the N-th degree. Judt goes to show we cant plan for everything! Im hoping that i get negative LFTs Thursday and Friday so I can salvage some sort of a festive period!

Yep had planned to go to Devon yesterday then various visiting of family in the next couple of days. Husband got a positive PCR last night and I got a positive lateral flow this morning. He feels ok I'm just worried with being 31 weeks pregnant
