I’ve had a faint positive Lft - after the 30 mins - twice - 3rd was definitely negative. Very worried as due to travel v early Friday. Pcr booked for 8am tomorrow.

Hoping most people will say less than 36hrs !

@OhYouBadBadKitten thank you ☹️ I darent get excited incase it’s bad news 😢

Sparklfairy · 02/09/2021 12:49

Oh @CharlieB93 that must be so stressful. Keeping everything crossed for you Flowers

CharlieB93 · 02/09/2021 13:06

I’m worried they’ve lost my test 😩

Sparklfairy · 02/09/2021 13:09

It's only been about 28hrs is that right @CharlieB93? Don't give up hope just yet Smile

May I join? I took the test at 08:30 this morning after an on-and-off sore throat and burning nose. Patiently awaiting the covid results.

NotSure1542 · 02/09/2021 13:12

I’ve done about 8 LFT tests which have been negative but I know that doesn’t mean much! I’m going on holiday on Sunday too!

CharlieB93 · 02/09/2021 13:14

@Sparklfairy yep that’s right - I’m so impatient

CorianderBee · 02/09/2021 13:15

24 hrs

According to my MIL her friends result came back in two hours! Surely that’s not possible?

OhYouBadBadKitten · 02/09/2021 13:45

I'm wondering how and if it's worth isolating from the rest of the family until I get the results. We don't have a spare bedroom, so there's nowhere for me to sleep seperately. Shared bathroom between all of us.
I'm in that half ill, restless state. Not ill enough to lie in bed, but not well enough to be leaping about the place.

Is it worth you doing another in case?
howtodealwithit · 02/09/2021 13:57

DS had one this morning, hoping won't take too long. I'd like him checked by a doc if it's negative (think he's got tonsillitis/ear infection), so would like to know this side of the weekend ideally

Friend in same area received her results this morning, waited 24 hours

CharlieB93 · 02/09/2021 14:01

@howtodealwithit I don’t think it’ll come back in time. What a nightmare

FlatStanletta · 02/09/2021 14:19

@CharlieB93 would it be worth paying to get a private PCR test. Like the ones people get for travel? Perhaps there will be a quicker one and at least you will know.

Really feel for you!

I was about to say this, one of those airport programmes said last week about a hotel near Heathrow that offers PCR's with a 4 hour turn around. Don't know whether they would take someone not travelling though, but worth a shot if you've got somewhere nearby?

CharlieB93 · 02/09/2021 14:37

I’ve just been looking - there doesn’t seem to be any around me 😩

CharlieB93 · 02/09/2021 14:37

I’m so mad that everyone’s test has seemed to be back before 36 hours! Just my luck

Oh that's a bugger Sad, I've got everything crossed you get your results back in time
Toottooot · 02/09/2021 14:38

Private test back within 25 mins this morning.

CharlieB93 · 02/09/2021 14:55

Just had it back - oh my god I’m getting married

FlatStanletta · 02/09/2021 14:57

Woohoo!!! Brilliant! So glad to hear that @CharlieB93

Fingers crossed for the rest of us now!
