Did anyone keep testing with LFTs?

I am due to finish isolating on Thursday following a positive lateral flow last week and symptoms from Sunday 4th August. We are due to go on holiday to Greece on Monday so I will be past my isolation period but they do random testing the airport on arrival. As of today my lateral flow tests are still super strong positives, and have been since Saturday - faint before that. I thought they would have started to get fainter by now but unfortunately not. I am so stressed out that they will still be positive by Monday and we will have to cancel.

Did anybody else keep testing out of curiosity to see when they went negative? (My husbands and kids were negative by the end of their 10 days.

Not sure how it works for holidays but the advice is not to do a LTF for 2/3 months after testing positive as it will not be accurate.

Not sure what you do for holidays but if your symptoms have gone after your isolation ends then hopefully you will be ok to travel?

In theory I am ok to travel as I have my double vaccination proof but if I get selected for random testing in Greece and it is still positive, we all have to go into a quarantine hotel for 10 days! They will only accept proof of recovery if PCR is 30 days or more before the travel date.

My husband and sons were both testing negative by the end of their isolation, and still are now (we have checked today as the kids are going to their grandparents and I want to be sure they haven't picked it up again which is unlikely).

I guess I just am hoping someone can say theirs was really strong and gone negative two days later :D

I hope it works out. I traveled on a fairly empty flight but they lateral flow tested the entire plane on landing. Sorry xx

Did you get it proved on PCR?
