Ahhh FFS is this a faint positive?

My DC and I can all see a very light test line. It came up within the time limit and has stayed for a couple of hours since.

Not sure what I'm hoping for here, maybe that everyone will say I'm seeing things! This seems to keep happening in our household. Every time PCRs have come back negative.

My DS had Covid in October and his LFTs gave him a clear strong positive days before he got any symptoms.

I guess I will do another LFT tonight/tomorrow and go from there. Until today I would have gone for a PCR but I don't have symptoms.

I can’t see anything

PartyPlan · 11/01/2022 16:29

Looks like a faint positive

Tippexy · 11/01/2022 16:29

Yep, clear even though it’s blurry! Sorry OP.

BlackInk · 11/01/2022 16:31

Hmmm, I didn't think it really showed on the photo. Maybe clearer in black and white, but such a squinter.

Can't see even the slightest line.

Hohofortherobbers · 11/01/2022 16:33

Cannot see any line

ColettesEarrings · 11/01/2022 16:33

It's definitely there though it is very faint.

Youaremypenguin · 11/01/2022 16:34

Can't see a line!

Phyllis321 · 11/01/2022 16:34

It's very very faint but it's there. In it a FlowFlex? I had several faint positives but negative PCRs. Very odd.

Bitezbabe · 11/01/2022 16:36

Can’t see a line.

BluebellsGreenbells · 11/01/2022 16:36

I see a line. Very faint.

myotherusernameisonholiday · 11/01/2022 16:36

Hi OP, I had so similar, 2x very faint positives a day apart, you could barely see them but felt like crap so was isolating anyway and developed a cough so went for pcr, it was negative. I was so surprised.
We got my oh to do an lft to compare in case it was the test box and his was totally clear... I know the rules have changed today, but if you've got any symptoms can you go for a pcr to confirm one way of the other?

ImInACage · 11/01/2022 16:40

My DC's looked like that yesterday, it was blazingly obvious this morning.

BlackInk · 11/01/2022 16:40

@Phyllis321
It's a SureScreen one. We have some Orient Gene ones too. I will do one of those later/tomorrow. Opinion pretty divided at the moment, which isn't very helpful!

I got that kind of ones when I tested too close after eating/vaping.

M0nica44 · 11/01/2022 16:45

Every time i see these i wonder if i have missed positive results! Clearly my eye sight is not up to reading lateral flows!

SagittariusDwarf · 11/01/2022 16:45

I can just about see a line but it's very faint.

Luckymummytoone · 11/01/2022 16:48

Yes I definitely see a line! X

WiganDiva · 11/01/2022 16:51

I can see a slight line in the second photo but it’s hardly conclusive. I’d leave it for now and just do another one tomorrow morning.

stuntbubbles · 11/01/2022 17:07

I can see it in both, and I’ve never seen even a hint of a squint like that on an LFT. Sorry!

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 11/01/2022 17:14

I can't see anything but my first eas really faint. By the next morning it was very dark

StampOnIt · 11/01/2022 17:26

I see a line, Dd's was like that yesterday, today she had a really strong line.

I was surprised as she had a bad headache Sunday night, but said she felt completely well this morning!

yayboostered · 11/01/2022 18:06

@BlackInk this was my sons and then I tested him a few hours later
