Positive lateral flow tests

Is anybody else testing consistently positive on lateral flow but negative on confirmative pcr? I have to lateral flow twice a week for work and they have been positive for the past 2 weeks (4 tests in total) but each pcr coming back negative. I’m getting so fed up with constant testing and worrying plus work getting fed up with on/off isolation waiting for pcr results. I can’t be the only one!

I should add that I have been receiving negative lateral flow tests until last week. And haven’t had Covid previously.

I know of a icu nurse that had a positive laterally flow test and a negative pcr test. I know they’re not very reliable & I do wonder what the point of them is. I worry it’s saying negative when it’s actually positive. Especially for teachers and health care workers who have to do them twice a week.

The false positive rate is very very low, how weird!
