Me and DH did our lateral flows this eve and I'm sure I can see a very faint line on his?!
He says it's negative and that I am looking too hard 🤦🏻‍♀️
Thoughts?
Thanks 😊

I can't see a positive result there at all

Neolara · 17/10/2021 19:45

I can't see anything.

Thelonelyranger · 17/10/2021 19:46

Looks negative to me.

EileenGC · 17/10/2021 19:48

I don’t see any positive lines.

Why is there still so much liquid in the sample bit? The instructions on mine always say 3-4 drops and to not ‘drown’ it.

😂 Because it was really dodgy to get any liquid out of the vial it kind of went up the sides inside if that makes sense when trying to drop a drop in 🤦🏻‍♀️ So he took the lid off and tapped the vial so it came out instead. Probably too much came out tbf. And then it didn't track up the test window until he gave it a wiggle and a poke with his swab 🤦🏻‍♀️

I agree with you OP and see what you think is a very faint line. But it's so faint it's barely there.

Test again tomorrow morning, 1st thing before you've eaten/drunk anything or brushed teeth.

Piapiano · 17/10/2021 22:18

I can see a faint line. This is what DD's rest looked like and the next day the line was much stronger. My DH couldn't see the faint line either!

I think I can almost see a second line but not if I zoom in.

Just do another tomorrow

rrhuth · 17/10/2021 22:39

@SezziBaybee

I had a similar argument with my husband this morning about mine. He was adamant he couldn't see it! I can though, did another one after which was negative but have been for a PCR. I confess I can't see a line on yours- so everything crossed! Xx
I can see a line on this one, but not the op's
Wagsandclaws · 17/10/2021 22:39

@SezziBaybee I can see a clear line on yours.

Definitely a line here. I can see a tiny tiny hint of one on the OP’s but it’s probably down to messing the test up with too much liquid. Do another one in the morning.
PricklesTheHedgehog · 17/10/2021 23:21

@SezziBaybee

This is yours if you play with the contrast etc. It's a definite faint line.

@SezziBaybee

Thought I'd update. My PCR was negative! How are things with you today OP? X
I'm consistently getting the same faint lines on those flowflex tests.

No symptoms.

2 negative PCRs.

Piapiano · 19/10/2021 21:35

My DS is getting this. Consistent very faint lines but negative PCR and no symptoms. I'm just going to keep doing LFTs for a while and get another PCR if it gets stronger.

Piapiano · 19/10/2021 21:36

I'm wondering if it could be evaporation lines like on pregnancy tests. But I don't get the same line when I do mine. Its very odd.

3asAbird · 20/10/2021 04:21

I think thye can change if left longer than 30mins.

Tigerwhocameforsupper · 20/10/2021 04:25

@SezziBaybee

Thanks Prickles and everyone else. The contrast change on it makes it is really clear! This test was from first thing this morning before I had eaten or had anything to drink. I did two after which were negative.

However, this is the closest I have ever had to anything even remotely resembling a line (I have been testing twice weekly for the last year as I am a teacher) so I went for a PCR today at midday. Just waiting on results now.

Really sorry for hijacking your thread op- let us know what the LFT is tomorrow if retests? Xx

Might started like that! Also a teacher, last Monday was a giant line first thing. 2 further LFT were both negative. PCR can’t back positive and then next day LFT was much stronger.
Tigerwhocameforsupper · 20/10/2021 04:25

*faint line; not giant!
