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 !

Almost 38 hours now. I just need to know if I am going to this wedding or not. It’s driving me crazy. My entire family is getting everything ready and they are all meeting up tonight ahead of the wedding and I’m sitting here pressing refresh on my inbox like a crazy person.

I need to know now! Sad

Have you tried calling and checking your barcode is linked to your details as I have heard sometimes they aren’t and once done the results come through really quick.

FlatStanletta · 03/09/2021 17:38

Oh I didn’t know that was an option! Good idea! Thank you @NatRog84

@FlatStanletta I did this earlier and mine was linked all ok and im still waiting for results 6 hrs later , he was super nice and checked for me even though not supposed to due to my circumstances and they said they had not had the results this was after 24 hrs , hope you have better luck
Think they should be back in 24 hrs as a goverment promise
Wonder if different areas ?

worriedatthemoment · 03/09/2021 17:45

NotSure1542 · 03/09/2021 17:53

I still haven’t received a text despite testing negative over 12 hours ago Confused

FlatStanletta · 03/09/2021 17:54

Ok I called and they said it has been registered so I just have to wait…

FlatStanletta · 03/09/2021 17:55

I’m in the SE. Actually just feel like crying now. Normally it wouldn’t bother me but I really want to go to this wedding! And the not knowing is the worst!

NotSure1542 · 03/09/2021 18:00

@FlatStanletta what time does the wedding start tomorrow? Do you live far away from the venue? Do you have any symptoms?

FlatStanletta · 03/09/2021 18:14

@NotSure1542 it’s very nearby, just 15 mins down the road and doesn’t start until the afternoon but still.

My symptoms have pretty much disappeared. Had a bit of a temp and felt like I had a cold with snotty nose and a bit of a cough but much better today! And sense of taste / smell is normal!

FuzzyPuffling · 03/09/2021 18:17

Feeling for you all.

I did my test and posted it yesterday and am checking emails very frequently.

I have a hospital procedure early next week and I really don't want it postponed.

Oh I see. It might be a last minute dash for you then! Hope you hear something this evening/early hours of the morning.

@FlatStanletta I'm so happy for you! I was just thinking about you and I'm glad to see a positive update. Have a lovely time!

Anonymouse1938 · 03/09/2021 20:47

So happy for you FlatStanletta! I'm still waiting but took advice from NHS and was told that as I've now had 6 negative lfts and a funny void one and no symptoms I'm fine. Hoping for my official result soon.

Anonymouse1938 · 04/09/2021 06:30

37 hours, negative, finally.

FuzzyPuffling · 04/09/2021 08:01

40hrs after doing the test I just got an email reminder to do it. ☹️ It suggests it's not even in the system yet.
I hope they hurry up...worried about hospital procedure.

I think you need to chase this one up.
