Line eyes - feel like I’m going crazy with this testing!

Would you say there’s a line here? Woke this morning with pounding head, cough and nausea so did an LFT and have a PCR booked shortly.

Both kids have coughs but tested negative so far.

I can see it. Sorry!

lachy · 04/10/2021 13:45

Yep. Two lines. Sorry 😔

Mybalconyiscracking · 04/10/2021 13:47

Yep, you been struck by the ‘rona!

Lougle · 04/10/2021 13:48

Yes, sorry. I can see that clearly.

TheWildRumpyPumpus · 04/10/2021 13:48

Oh damn. I have so much going on the next two weeks! Am sure I’ve caught it from the kids though so surprised they are testing negative.

Yes I see it. But it is like one of those optical illusion, where if you stare at it, it disappears!

TheWildRumpyPumpus · 04/10/2021 16:22

I know what you mean about it disappearing! DH says he can’t see anything so I will hold out hope for a negative PCR even though I’m sure there’s a line.

I’m afraid that’s exactly what mine looked like and I’ve just been confirmed positive.

XenoBitch · 04/10/2021 16:53

I can only see the one line, but then I have never done a test so would not know what to look for.

I hope you feel better soon.

My boyfriend has covid right now (he's been quite poorly with flu symptoms and cough for the past week). His LTF tests were negative but I said he had to get a PCR and that was positive.
I see a line on there so I think your PCR will be positive.
I have no idea how I have avoided it, living in the same house as boyfriend 24/7. My PCR test came back negative, as have daily LTF tests and I have no symptoms.

MissPeregrine · 04/10/2021 17:59

I saw two when I first looked at the photo but when I zoomed in I couldn’t see a line.

Hope your PCR is conclusive and hope you don’t feel too rough Flowers

SpindleWhirl · 04/10/2021 18:02

I honestly can't see a second line.

TickandSired · 04/10/2021 18:07

Yes I can see a T line, and having worked in a lateral flow test centre during Covid lockdown it looks like other positive tests I have seen - sorry Thanks

Jackiebrambles · 04/10/2021 18:09

I can see it, sorry. I think if you did it tomorrow the line would be much stronger. My husband had a totally negative lft and then two days later (he was feeling utterly shit) he did another and the second line appeared so strong so quickly!

JasonMomoasgirlfriend · 04/10/2021 18:10

I can see a line but I wouldn't take it as a positive.

Can you imagine people with not as good eyesight? How would they ever see that?!
It looks inconclusive to me

XenoBitch · 04/10/2021 18:11

@SpindleWhirl

I honestly can't see a second line.
Same. I feel like I am going mad. It is like that dress thing all over again.
AttaGirrrrl · 04/10/2021 18:22

Yep. That’s what my first positive looked like. So faint I was questioning myself. By Day 3 it was as dark as the control line. Get yourself a PCR and some microwaveable food.

SpindleWhirl · 04/10/2021 18:24

Can you imagine people with not as good eyesight? How would they ever see that?!

I put my specs on specially. Still can't see it.

SpindleWhirl · 04/10/2021 18:29

How I ever found out I was pregnant, I do not know.

ArianaG · 04/10/2021 18:34

yes I can see it, mine was like that and I was confirmed positive

TheWildRumpyPumpus · 04/10/2021 19:23

Thanks for the opinions!

I repeated the kids’ LFTs when they got in from school and DS2 is now a strong positive so he and DH have been for PCRs.

Food delivery is booked in just in case DH is positive too.

Can I recommend that you and your DH, if you do test positive, rest as much as you possibly can. My dh and I are mid 40s and double vaxxed and we were both really knocked out by it!!

sartorius · 04/10/2021 22:18

Gosh I would never have imagined a hint of a line like that was a positiveConfused
I was looking for one similar to the C line

LifesTooShortYOLO · 04/10/2021 22:53

Yes I can see a line but that does not automatically mean it's positive... I had several faint lines like this all confirmed Negative with PCR's good luck!

TheWildRumpyPumpus · 05/10/2021 09:22

Mixed results here today! My PCR came back negative, still waiting for the rest of the family. However, LFTs for DS and I are even stronger than yesterday so I’m not sure whether the LFT or PCR is wrong in my case!
