5 Postive LFT now they're coming back negative?

At work I have to do two LFT tests a week. This morning my test came back positive, this has made me very anxious of the possibility of passing it to my children. I have done a PCR test which is due to be collected by courier tomorrow and have been advised to stay off work until my PCR test confirms or denies.

I will admit I've gone over board with testing and tested 5 times with a batch of LFTs that work orders in. All five had very faint positives which appeared just before the 20 minute mark.

However, the tests I ordered online to my home has come back negative!

To ease my anxiety I keep telling myself I probably don't have it then. Could this be the case? Could it have been a dodgy batch of tests?

Stop doing LFTs
Yes you have covid

I doubt you would get that many false positives.
Is there a reason why are you so anxious?

Op... What do you want us to tell you?
There is as much chance the new ones are fault as the old ones are.
Chances are you have covid.
Are there no local testing locations you can attend for a faster PCR result?
