4 LFTs - 2 positive, 2 negative - chance of positive PCR?

As above,

Tested 4 times since last night. Two came back negative but not straight away. How common are false positives on lateral flows?

I’ve been for a PCR this morning x

Any result yet?? Watching as my LFTs were that light too... First PCR negative, did more LFTs, same result, awaiting second PCR results.

Nope. Took my test 57 hours ago now! 🙈

Maybe call them, it should be 24 hour turnaround for your results, might have to do another. Have you taken another LFT to see if it's getting darker in the meantime?

119 is the number , they should be able to give you your result but it seems like it's maybe been lost somehow

I called them this morning. They were able to tell me when I had my test from the barcode and they said it had registered fine. She told me that they are taking up to 72 hours at the moment.

I’ve done another lateral flow today and it is negative so I’m assuming it is negative. Obviously I’m waiting for my result before leaving the house though.

If they’ve lost it, I won’t be doing another!

Where abouts in the country are you vaguely? Worried mine might be super slow now too

Maybe you did have covid but your antibodies hammered it quickly.

Makes you wonder how many other lateral flows have been wrong or whether they are picking up other viruses?
