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??

@Joystir59

That's negative. Enjoy your flight.
Second picture clearly shows a line.
TheOriginalMrsBagwell · 02/12/2021 21:22

I can see a line, and I never see a line on anything. Really hope I am wrong though. Good luck.

Fluffycloudland77 · 02/12/2021 21:22

It looks ok to me. Hopefully your negative.

Dizzydream · 02/12/2021 21:28

Iv had a couple of tests come out like that and all follow up pcr have been negative so hopefully its the same for you

StuckInARug · 02/12/2021 21:29

Very sorry to keep you all waiting but the PCR is negative!!!! Very relieved. Will do another LFT in the morning just in case…..

Is there any colour in the line? Because mine was like that but no colour - like an evap line. Google suggested that this is common and it’s negative, so that’s what I went with. Hopefully the PCR is negative! Good luck!

ShiftingSands21 · 02/12/2021 21:31

Cross posted. Woohoo!

AnneShirleysNewDress · 02/12/2021 21:31

Great news OP. Enjoy your time with your family.

CurlyhairedAssassin · 02/12/2021 21:32

Hooray, OP!!! Enjoy your holiday!

PrivateHall · 02/12/2021 21:33

Bloody brilliant news! Please don't do another PCR and cause yourself more stress, the wee buggers are really inaccurate. Go and enjoy your holiday Flowers

OhPeeQueue · 02/12/2021 21:38

Wow, I remember the days mn was about “line eyes” for pregnancy tests and live birth threads..kind of merged the two, covid-19.

Reusablebags · 02/12/2021 21:47

So happy for you. I really don’t think you need to do another LFT tomo, I think you’ve done all that could be expected of you (and then some). Have a great trip.

Caliexpidocioussuper · 02/12/2021 21:49

No more tests. A PCR is enough. Have a good time.

Benjispruce5 · 02/12/2021 21:52

I recently had a positive flowflex lft. PCR wa negative. My line was darker than yours.

IgneousRock · 02/12/2021 21:54

Phew!

Cherrydown · 02/12/2021 21:55

Great news, enjoy your holiday!

amsadandconfused · 02/12/2021 22:03

I had 2 positive LFT tests a few weeks ago …very faint line but darker than your test and PCR was negative…so hopefully you will be ok.

StuckInARug · 02/12/2021 22:04

Thanks all!! Agreed, no more testing!!!

To the person who asked, the line was completely colourless, just a shadow really! It was on a flowflex test so I’m guessing it’s just one of those things. Thanks for everyone’s support and good wishes!

@INeedNewShoes

The flowflex nasal only tests seem to be getting a lot of false positives. There's been a thread on MN this morning about it.

I get a faint colourless line every time I do one of these and have done for weeks/months. I've had various PCRs along the way, all negative and the other type of LFT also comes up completely negative.

I'm wondering whether it's that you can see where 2 different litmus papers cross or whether some people's saliva just always gives a shadow where the test line is.

This.

I've noticed that too, and I test all the time

OP
I don't see even a faint line

TomBradysLeftKneecap · 02/12/2021 22:14

I don’t think I’ve speed read a thread so quickly. Not even sure why I was so invested Grin

Warhertisuff · 02/12/2021 22:17

Glad you had a negative PCR. I had something very similar... an extremely faint line on LFT that was only discernable in good light... then a negative PCR, which I followed up with a negative LFT the following day (though if I were you I wouldn't do this - just go on holiday!)

Warhertisuff · 02/12/2021 22:18

Ps mine was one of the new nasal only tests too.

Ladylunchalot · 02/12/2021 22:22

Great news op, was keeping my fingers crossed for you when I was reading the thread. Hope you have a lovely time away.

Hillary17 · 02/12/2021 22:33

Can’t see anything!

JedEye · 02/12/2021 22:40

Yay!!
