Looks like a faint line.

Mumzoo5070 · 22/11/2021 22:45

Yea

PriamFarrl · 22/11/2021 22:46

Nope. But test again later.

I had a negative one evening and a really strong positive exactly 24 hours later.

I can see a faint line but if you’re coughing, you need to isolate and book a pcr. Have you done that?

Tiredout123 · 22/11/2021 22:47

Yes, v v faint

Can see it in one pic.

Try again tomw

Possibly a very faint line - but you have symptoms so should be going for a PCR as PP said

This is not the procedure.

If you have a positive test (any line is a positive), you book a pcr test and isolate until you get the result.

How can people not know this?

I just thought my cough was asthma related but after the test im wondering if I am wrong.

I can see it, book a PCR. Hope you're much better very soon.

ArianaG · 22/11/2021 22:54

I can see it

Don’t rely on a lateral flow if you have symptoms. Get a PCR.

SmallProvincial · 22/11/2021 22:55

Yep, feint line. PCR for you tomorrow!

IcecreamRocks · 22/11/2021 22:56

Test again tomorrow. I did a test on my DS on Saturday when he started coughing, got a negative. On Sunday he tested positive.

PurpleDaisies · 22/11/2021 22:57

Test again tomorrow

With a PCR

Test again tomorrow. I did a test on my DS on Saturday when he started coughing, got a negative. On Sunday he tested positive.
Just for clarity, you didn’t just rely on lateral flows while he was coughing did you?
BergamotandLime · 22/11/2021 22:59

Yep. Time for a PCR.

Sparkle275 · 23/11/2021 10:11

Yes very faint line, get a PCR test. Hope you feel better soon.
