Two positive LFT’s this morning. How likely are they to be wrong?

I test twice a week as standard because I work in a school. I did an extra test on Thursday this week because I had a migraine and that was negative. Felt fine after I’d slept it off, this morning I got up and felt sniffly and a bit congested, which isn’t unusual for me as I have sinus problems and allergies and they always get worse as the weather gets milder. Did my Sunday test as usual and was shocked to get a glowing positive after about 8 minutes. Did another to be sure, and another glowing positive in slightly less time! These are the newer nasal only tests as I can’t get the old throat swabs. I’ve just been for my PCR and am now waiting for the results, but am just wondering how likely they are to be false positives? (I know in my head I have I BTW).

I can’t believe it! Two fucking years and I’ve not got it, I’ve had people breathe all over me who subsequently tested positive, I’ve shared cars with people who’ve tetsted positive I even survived the run up to Christmas when everyone at work and most of the kids dropped like flies. But it looks like it’s finally bloody got me!

Hope you are feeling better soon. We had managed to avoid it until the 15 year old tested positive last week. Three in school and me having been in the office and generally getting on with things so pretty good to have got this far.

We finally caught it last week and my test line is still as dark as the control!! Wondering if it'll fade or suddenly disappear.
I haven't lost my smell or taste although vinegar does now taste horrible after a while.

I’m still feeling congested, but the main symptom I have at the moment is this strange fatigue, but not like a normal tiredness from not sleeping properly or whatever and it keeps coming and going in waves. Very very odd indeed. Also a tiny bit of breathlessness.
