When did you test negative on your lateral flow?

Has anyone actually tested negative on day 5 then 6?!
Today is day 3 and DS is still strong (pic attached) Any chance it can be this strong then be negative by day 5?
Just have a feeling we will be stuck in for the full 10 days at the rate 😩

All my DC were positive for the full 10 days. I was negative by day 7 but have had the vaccinations which my DC obviously haven't had.

AngeliqueDePeyrac · 28/01/2022 18:18

It was Day 9 for me (today), sorry 😞

Bilingualspingual · 28/01/2022 18:19

My son has tested negative on a day 6 today, after a very faint line on day 5.

Not here I’m afraid. But I did have a strong positive the day before I went negative on day 9. DD was similar and DH was still positive on day 10.

kimlo · 28/01/2022 18:20

I was still testing positive on day 10. I was tripple vacinated.
Double vacinated dh was also still testing positive on day 10.

Turtles4543 · 28/01/2022 18:22

DS day 10

LifesTooShortYOLO · 28/01/2022 18:26

After Christmas I think it was day 9

CouldItBeYesItCould · 28/01/2022 18:28

We all (4 of us) tested positive up to day10 😭

altmember · 28/01/2022 18:29

Not much point taking a test on day 3, could be anything by day 5. I've not known anyone get a negative on day 5, couple of people day 6 (and 7), plenty of people 10+ days. Don't get your hopes up.

DaffodilDandilion · 28/01/2022 18:30

I’m on day 4 today and my test line is way darker than the control line. I assume this is not a good sign?

Devo1818 · 28/01/2022 18:31

Me and dd both tested neg on day 5 and 6, dh on day 6 and 7. Good luck!

maya71 · 28/01/2022 18:39

Day 5 & 6 here. I only had a faint line when I tested positive though.

Bloatstoat · 28/01/2022 20:52

DS was day 11, DD day 9. I was still positive on day 11! DH was smugly negative days 6/7 so could stop isolating early. Weirdly I had no symptoms but tested positive the longest Confused

BBCONEANDTWO · 28/01/2022 20:53

Can't you stop isolating after day 10 even if it is positive please please say you can!

DaffodilDandilion · 28/01/2022 20:55

Can't you stop isolating after day 10 even if it is positive please please say you can!

Yep

delilahbucket · 28/01/2022 20:59

DS has just tested negative on day seven. His first test was like a beacon, didn't test again until day five but it was pretty faint and could barely see it on day six.

Isingtoomuch · 28/01/2022 21:00

My daughter’s lateral flow test became negative on day 6 (today)-yay!

FelicityBob · 28/01/2022 21:00

DS day 8

SleepingStandingUp · 28/01/2022 21:02

Day 10 for me. DS is still positive day 5. Why are yo u still testing tho if it's only day 3?

LifesTooShortYOLO · 28/01/2022 21:03

For those who did get out of jail early were the lateral flows bright to begin with? I can't see how his will suddenly get lighter and disappear!

Interested to know the longest anyone has gone and still tested positive, as my DF is still bloody positive after 18 days!

Bilingualspingual · 28/01/2022 21:08

I didn’t test my ds on day 3 so can’t compare but I would say his was about as strong as the control line on his day zero. Don’t bother testing til day 5 and I bet it’ll have faded. It’s like people testing for pregnancy crazy early. Who doesn’t love a test?!

SleepingStandingUp · 28/01/2022 21:13

I tested from day 5-10. 10 was barely visible. 9 was feint. 8 was slightly less feint. 7 was a little lighter than full. 6 was full.

BurntO · 28/01/2022 21:14

I was still positive on day 8. I didn’t test after that
