Does anyone else see a line on this, the camera isn't picking it up well 🤷‍♀️

I can’t see anything.

If you think you can, just book a pcr.

PurpleDaisies · 09/10/2021 10:05

Posted too soon. There’s no downside to doing a pcr. They seem to be coming back quickly in most areas at the moment.

Thewiseoneincognito · 09/10/2021 10:08

Very very very very slightly but it could be resolution of the picture so it’s difficult to say. Not sure if this is helpful or not but when I tested positive I had an extremely faint line then I repeated the test around 2 hours later and it was a big definite — YES YOU’VE GOT IT — type line so maybe wait an hour or so and do another?

Suzi888 · 09/10/2021 10:08

We had our pcr back the same day.

No there isn’t a line on your lateral flow as far as I can see.

Do you have symptoms of covid, if you do get a proper test.

Bettyboopsboop · 09/10/2021 10:08

I am going to have to. My DS has covid and its more obvious in real life

You should have already taken a pcr as a close contact.
toomuchlaundry · 09/10/2021 10:11

If your DS has COVID shouldn’t you be getting a PCR as a contact anyway

Bettyboopsboop · 09/10/2021 10:13

I did do a pcr as a close contact on Tuesday and it was negative

If you think your lft is now positive, you’ll need to do another one.

Bettyboopsboop · 09/10/2021 10:17

Yes. I'm going toGin

I can see a line. Almost identical circumstances get a pcr today.

GoldFrankensteinAndGrrr · 09/10/2021 11:34

In the second one, definitely.

BlanketPiggy · 09/10/2021 19:49

I can't see it. But hope you're all feeling better soon x

PricklesTheHedgehog · 09/10/2021 22:51

There's a line on the second one.

makelovenotpetrol · 10/10/2021 15:14

I can see the lines on both

BlanketPiggy · 10/10/2021 15:32

I don't think I'm looking closely enough at mine then! Is it easier to see if you shine a torch on it?

Bettyboopsboop · 10/10/2021 15:34

Thank you everyone. Still waiting for pcr result but did another lft today out of curiosity. A faint line, I expected it would have been stronger today 🤷‍♀️

I can see that line better!

CopperLily · 10/10/2021 15:44

My daughter had two like that, the third taken a day after was a strong positive and a PCR confirmed covid (after initially saying it was negative).

Bettyboopsboop · 10/10/2021 15:49

I had a positive lft and negative pcr a few months ago so I'm half expecting that will be the case again. Although no one in the household had covid then whereas my DS does now. Feel fine though apart from a stabbing pain in my throat but I think that may have been the gin from last night causing that 🙏

Reallybadidea · 10/10/2021 15:54

Yeah my first two positive LFDs done 24 hours apart looked like that. Positive PCR and then v. strong positive LFD on day 3. My guess is you're very early stages of infection.

Escapedgoats · 10/10/2021 17:10

That's how my LFT looked on Friday, now confirmed positive with PCR.😩

Chocachocaholic · 10/10/2021 21:05

Definitely see a line on all of those. I had very faint positive ltf on Friday and sent my pcr off and that came back positive. If there is a line however faint they do say it will still be a positive.

BlanketPiggy · 10/10/2021 21:13

I had no idea you had to look that hard for the line though.

LifesTooShortYOLO · 10/10/2021 23:04

Wow I had no idea positive line could be that faint?! I assumed it would be obvious.
