Guess my PCR results… entertain me whilst I wait

Picture of very ambiguous LFT attached
Background:
Double vaxed long covid sufferer
Started feeling odd on Sunday evening with a unsettled tum and chills and have felt wiped out and headachy since. None of the three key symptoms.
I read the LFT after 15 minutes (nothing) and then 40 minutes (because I forgot) and saw this vague line.
This happened on Monday too but it was later than 40 and I dismissed it. During the week I can avoid contact with people outside the household so not a high risk strategy.
I’ve now had a PCR… so place your bets:
What’s my results?
When will I get the text

I’m bored!

It will say: Ask again later

Driposaurus · 03/11/2021 19:12

Definitely pregnant!

On a more serious note: agh.

girlmom21 · 03/11/2021 19:15

I'm saying negative by 11am

AchyFlower · 03/11/2021 19:18

When did you have the PCR exactly?

AchyFlower · 03/11/2021 19:18

And was it postal or drive/walk through?

Chocolatecoatedkettlebell · 03/11/2021 19:21

PCR was 3pm, drive through, London.

Thank you.

I will go for negative by 7pm tomorrow.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 03/11/2021 19:23

I think the LFT is as it dries. We’ve had a few odd ones that don’t look right because the ink and the paper has merged.

RuleWithAWoodenFoot · 03/11/2021 19:52

I'm going positive by 3pm tomorrow.

Hetyanni · 03/11/2021 19:54

Negative 4pm

AwesomeAvocado · 03/11/2021 19:56

Feel your pain - I’m a long covid sufferer and I have had so many days when I feel tired and achy and weird that I am second-guessing whether it is long covid or something else.

I’m also double vaxxed and have obviously had a past covid infection and I’ve just tested positive.

I reckon you’re negative though.

AwesomeAvocado · 03/11/2021 19:57

Oh and result at 2.45pm

DerTrotzkopf · 03/11/2021 19:57

I've got LC too and felt like this a few weeks back. Even had a temp that night. DP coughing like a trooper, pretty much how it all started last year. However LFT negative. We even did PCRs, was convinced I'd be +ve but no, negative. I actually felt like I'd got covid. Put it down to a weird bug of some kind.

Covidworries · 03/11/2021 22:38

Positive 12 noon tomorrow

KingofQueens · 03/11/2021 22:41

Hhhm, I currently positive with headache, chills, feeling spaced out. Hope you're not though OP.

gogohm · 03/11/2021 22:44

I had the same symptoms as you, I've tested negative and now the streaming nose has begun - it's a cold

CagneyNYPD1 · 03/11/2021 22:51

Negative result tomorrow at 6.30pm is my best offer.

bagofconkers · 03/11/2021 22:57

Positive, 1pm.

Hope you feel better soon!

ApolloandDaphne · 03/11/2021 22:58

Negative. 11.15am.

Chocolatecoatedkettlebell · 04/11/2021 06:40

Morning all, the results were in…. Negative!!
Email received at 3am!! So just 12 hours later.
Big hugs to those who are positive and struggling, the fellow LC sufferers and anyone feeling rough for non covid reasons x

That's pretty efficient - and good news!

LimitIsUp · 04/11/2021 15:47

Cool
I would have bet positive so would have been wrong. Happy to be wrong though

AchyFlower · 04/11/2021 16:47

Super speedy!

Quartz2208 · 04/11/2021 17:03

That isnt a line - it is just dye so not surprising it is negative. The new ones have more liquid and is directly in the tube to squeeze so lot more dye drying

That is why its a negative PCR
