Faint positive? With pic

DS had this on a LF today. He had a bit of a cough and general lethargy so took for a PCR already. We discounted the LF as negative but I just noticed this as I was about to throw away.

It's positive isn't it???

Yes it's positive. DS's looks like that, he's day 8 now, it was much stronger before today.

Was it after the time limit?
Doesn't matter now if you went for a PCR

hamstersarse · 04/01/2022 21:47

Was it in the 30 minute window after the test?

Unfortunately no idea when that faint line showed up. BUT I generally throw them all away at the end of a day and have never seen a faint positive like this one on any before.

I know it doesn't matter anyway but I was hoping and assuming it'd come back negative but at least now I'm prepared

I would say that’s a positive. When our family had it the lines did not go away after 30 mins and my line was even fainter than that at about 25 mins and I tested positive on pcr x

Dh and I have both had lines like that after the time when I’ve been negative. You can’t really tell outside the time.

Hopefully his pcr will be quick.

I had one like that a couple of months ago and a PCR a was negative. Weird.

Argh fingers crossed then! Thanks all

If that only developed after 30 minutes you're supposed to ignore it.

When I tested my sons before when he wasn't feeling well I put the lft down and forgot about it, I looked maybe an hour later and it had a faint positive, I booked him in for a pcr test that day which came back positive the next day. I know they say disregard after 30 mins but it's best to be safe If your not sure if it came up before or after the 30 mins.

Hmmmm looks positive but you may be pleasantly surprised when PCR results come back
