Flying tomorrow. Is this a positive LFT???

[StuckInARug]

I know it’s very very very faint and I’m not even sure it’s there. Photo taken 18 minutes after a 15 minutes test. What do you think??

@StuckInARug

You know what, there’s no line on the NHS LFTs but the fit to fly one has the very faint line. I think I agree with INeednewshoes it’s possible that it’s where the paper changes - that’s exactly what my husband said.

The same day PCR where I live is £169, not sure what to do! 😫

Do another, with no swabbing, just the liquid, and see why the line looks like, for comparison.

Did you time it? If after the time 15 or 30 min has passed it doesn't count as positive. Check instructions.

[ComeAllYeFaithful]

That’s negative.

[Mummy7777]

I cannot see any lines on either and I've seen positive results.

If this was a pregnancy test, I'd be assuming positive. You can invert the image to get a better view?

[OnlyFoolsnMothers]

id say negative

[Almostmenopausal]

Here. I've changed the lighting & saturation etc. Second line highly visible

[junebirthdaygirl]

My positive showed very clear line with absolutely no doubt. I don't think that's positive

[LadyCampanulaTottington]

I could see the line in the second one before you inverted it. I think you need to get a PCR OP.

[OnlyFoolsnMothers]

oh ok now i see it

[Frazzled2207]

I think the faint line you can see is just whatever is there to show a coloured line.

As with a pregnancy test I was under the impression that the line needed to be coloured not just a shadow.

Anyway you are good to be getting a pcr. Fingers crossed for negative.

[Thisisconfusing]

I can definitely see a faint line I’m afraid . I would say this is a positive LFT. We all use flow flex regularly in this house and don’t get the watermark others are describing ( and we are thorough at doing them) . Terrible timing 😢

[Almostmenopausal]

Slightly more visible here

[authenticforgery]

I think it's positive. I don't know why people think it has to be as dark as the control line. This was my sons positive. I'd be getting a pcr.

On my way to the test centre to beg for a same day PCR as there are no bookings online. Flight is 11am tomorrow.

Good luck! I hate this bloody virus.

Prior to having COVID I did a LTF and couldn't work out if there was a super faint line. I was holding it up to the light and everything for a good 5 mins to work out if it was or not. Couple of days later did another LTF and it came up positive after 10 mins. Got a PCR the next day and results in 16 hours later. Positive for COVID!

If you are uncertain I'd just get the PCR test done!!

[nitsandwormsdodger]

Slightest of shadows but NOT a positive

[SpritzingAperol]

When my son had Covid his lateral flows just produced dark lines really quickly. As clear as you like. I don't think that line is anything to go by.

Do another one OP.

[SpritzingAperol]

Seen you are getting a PCR good luck OP.

[Cornettoninja]

good luck @StuckInARug. What utterly shit timing for you

[Mummy7777]

That's not a positive. My husband just recently had covid and his line was strong and remained strong after 15 mins.

[StuckInARug]

Managed to do the PCR!!! They allowed me to do it today even with a booking for tomorrow!! Will update the thread when I’ve got the results.

[Cornettoninja]

That’s great news @StuckInARug. I really hope you get a negative 🤞
