Can't see another line ?! Think
That's negative

MrPoppysParka · 04/01/2022 13:35

Definitely positive I’m afraid.

WorraLiberty · 04/01/2022 13:35

Can't see another line

Daisychainsandglitter · 04/01/2022 13:36

I think they're positive. Sorry OP.

Justmuddlingalong · 04/01/2022 13:36

I can't see a second line on any of them.

AlexaShutUp · 04/01/2022 13:36

I think positive. Sorry!

chiefcha · 04/01/2022 13:38

I see positives on the second picture.

Sparkle275 · 04/01/2022 13:38

I can see 2 lines, sorry. Book a PCR.

seven201 · 04/01/2022 13:39

I can see them but did they appear within the time limit?

2boysand1princess · 04/01/2022 13:40

Hard to see in pics but I see a second line on the tests, DH saying that I’m imagining it. DS1 says he can see it and DS2 is siding with his father as usual and saying no🤦‍♀️ But impossible to book pcr in my area unless I travel 50+ miles.

Can't see second lines on either of these.

Second test looks 'flooded', wouldn't rely on that one at all.

everythingthelighttouches · 04/01/2022 13:44

I would do them again, make sure to swab your tonsils first, and only put 4 drops of solution in the wells so the white stays white and not pink.

Luckymummytoone · 04/01/2022 14:01

I definitely see lines on all of them x

underneaththeash · 04/01/2022 14:07

They're definitely positive.

underneaththeash · 04/01/2022 14:07

Oh and I'd recommend an eye test for the people who can't see them!

ItsRainingTacos · 04/01/2022 14:16

That's a positive.

You've taken the picture too early by the way as the background in the test strip is still pink - ideally you should wait 15 minutes for a more accurate/clearer reading (the background goes completely white again and any positives (including feint lines) will show clearer.

Zippy1510 · 04/01/2022 14:19

Your test looks old- was this result taken within 30 minutes?

liveforsummer · 04/01/2022 14:20

I can see it. DD's was like that and was positive despite only swabbing her nose for PCR and not doing the best job of that either

Blossomandbee · 04/01/2022 14:28

I see them, my DH can never see faint lines either. You need a pcr test, could you order them to your home?
I've had lines like this a few times that have turned out to be negative though.

samks · 04/01/2022 15:00

I’d say positive. Looks like ours did, and we all got positive PCRs the following day

2boysand1princess · 04/01/2022 16:05

About 20 mins. Not the full 30 mins

@Zippy1510 that was the test at 20mins approx.

For some reason all my tests look “flooded” I do them in DH and kids myself and they never turn out like that.
Still trying to book a pcr drive through or hone test, but nothing. I will obviously self isolate until then.

I’m impatient lol, but yes you are right. Now the test backgrounds have gone white and the second greyish/blueish lines are still there. Very faint but there.

I can see a vertical line only.
