Positive lateral flow?

Done a lateral flow test this morning, does this look positive? Line is very faint. Done 2 more and were both negative. I'm only doubting it because every test I have ever done there hasn't been a hint of a line.

Positive lateral flow?

That does look like a line, there was a similar one posted here last week and had a positive PCR the next day.

I think that is positive, sorry. PCR next to confirm.

See this thread www.mumsnet.com/Talk/coronavirus/4334466-has-anyone-had-a-faint-line-on-lateral-flow.
A few of us had similar LFTs with subsequent negative PCR so try not to worry

I had one like that last week, negative PCR and no symptoms.

I had one exactly like this last Saturday night. Did two more Sunday that were negative but booked a pcr for myself and son who also had negative lateral flow to be safe in the Sunday and we were both positive.

My mum is vulnerable so take lateral
Flows before I visit.

Good luck

Got my results this morning, negative! Test and trace have been on the phone and because I have symptoms, headache etc I have been told I need to isolate for 10 days. I thought with a negative PCR you didn't need to isolate?

The good thing is that the PCR tests have been quite quick recently. Unlike last Sept when you couldn’t get one!

Sorry didn’t notice the update.

I thought a negative test meant you didn’t need to too - hopefully someone can clarify!
