Does this look positive?

Not sure if it's just my eyes or if this LFT looks like there is a faint line??

Son and I have both been suffering headache, sore throat and runny nose since the weekend. Not much of a cough but a bit croaky at times.

Double jabbed! Not sure if I'm just imagining this or not though!

Thanks all :-)

I can’t see a line

TheVolturi · 29/09/2021 10:03

If I stare at it, I can see something. Take another in a few hours. Ours always went from not there to very strong over the course of the day.

Northernsoullover · 29/09/2021 10:04

That's a terrible photo. Can you try with a flash?

dottyaboutstripes · 29/09/2021 10:04

If I zoom in I can see a very faint line

CurlyhairedAssassin · 29/09/2021 15:21

That's the worst test photo I've ever seen Grin

Dont hold it in the shadow of the box!

ShagMeRiggins · 29/09/2021 15:24

No. My experience with positive LFTs are a very clear line. You wouldn’t mistake it.

ShagMeRiggins · 29/09/2021 15:26

Also, the first one I saw that was positive was on someone double-jabbed. It’s not impossible, unfortunately.

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 29/09/2021 15:29

Headache and sore throat is what my DD had.

CrumpleHornedSnowcack · 29/09/2021 15:47

just do another test to make sure

mariebaby3 · 29/09/2021 15:53

I can see a line if I look really closely! Maybe take another tomorrow morning?

Cruiser11 · 29/09/2021 15:58

I can’t see a line. I had a clear LTF on Saturday and a tiny line on Sunday and tested positive on a PCR on Monday. Try doing another one in a few hours.

MsMeNz · 30/09/2021 23:02

Yes I can see a line be if I enlarge it.

Howshouldibehave · 30/09/2021 23:04

That’s a terrible photo! Can you add one where the test kit isn’t in a shadow?

This!

Take a picture of the test in good light. Who were you hiding from when you took that one?!

StellaCinnamon · 30/09/2021 23:06

Not quite as exciting as the pregnancy test line threads, is it?

Luzina · 30/09/2021 23:14

My son’s lft was barely visible, PCR was positive. Get a PCR done ASAP to check, they’re more accurate

beautifullymad · 30/09/2021 23:29

Yes it's positive. Repeat tomorrow and sort out a pcr test.

CiderWithLizzie · 30/09/2021 23:33

It doesn’t look positive to me but maybe get a PCR to double check.

Unreasonabubble · 30/09/2021 23:35

I can see a line on the "C".

FWBNC · 30/09/2021 23:38

@Unreasonabubble

I can see a line on the "C".
Havent you done a single LFT?
Ivalueloyaltyaboveallelse · 30/09/2021 23:39

Definitely positive, I can also see a line on the c.

Ivalueloyaltyaboveallelse · 30/09/2021 23:40

I mean T

Unreasonabubble · 30/09/2021 23:45

@FWBNC - nope.

AwFeebs · 30/09/2021 23:46

I can't really see anything.

Our positives on the lft were very clear...

The line on the C is the Control line - there should be one on EVERY test- if theres not one it's a faulty test.

If there's a line by the T then that's positive. It is sometimes just as clear, but other times very very feint, almost like a shadow, it's still positive and you need a PCR if there's anything there at all.

I don't know if it's the difference in phone screens or what, but I can never see them on these threads, but others can. My own tests I double check using my phone light behind it.
