Positive LF or evap line?

[FrancisCross]

Tested last night before bed, read after 10 mins was negative but then fell asleep, woke up to this?

Edit - that was my last test, have ordered some more and will test again once they arrive. Will isolate until then.

Positive. Sorry OP. I'd book a PCR.

Get well soon

Have you got symptoms? If not you don't need to isolate

Yes she does, unfortunately.

@HummingBeeBox a headache and slightly fatigued but also coincides with time of the month.

@GoldFrankensteinAndGrrr I meant if evap line. You obviously think it's positive.

I'd say it was positive but then if you've read it after the time frame it's hard to tell, I'd get a PCR especially if you're feeling poorly.

I've had plenty of false positives on LFTs and I've had lines appear after the timeframe too so I just go for a PCR to be sure

Good luck OP c

I would say positive I have just tasted positive and feel fatigued with a headache too

You read it after 8 hrs?
Cant be relied on as an answer. You need to do another when the new box arrives.
Suspect it will be positive tho - thats quite a strong line.

I dint think they evaporated? Ds has some manky old ones on his desk and are all still clearly negative

Interested to hear if you tested again - i've had 2 exceptionally faint lines on lfts... but each only really visible after the 30 mins. In a panic i had a 3rd completely negative. I'm planning a 4th later and have a PCR booked for the morning.

Hoping you got a negative?

@MumsBiscuits I’m waiting for a new delivery of LF tests. Will test again once they arrive.

To be honest I'd just book the PCR if I were you and cut to the chase. At least then you'll know either way.

@Sunshinegirl82 - I’ve just booked one. Headache getting worse and just don’t feel right.

I'd say after 8 hours on a 15 minute test you need to disregard that result and test again when you can. It's not a positive result as the results are void after 20 mins with the new tests.

I’d say positive I’ve seen literally hundreds at work and we have left them out on the side all day in the test room they never have a line unless it was a positive test. Hope you feel better soon.

New batch of LF tests arrived this morning, took 2 and both negative. Will still go for PCR but hoping original test was void. Thanks for the replies.
