V faint line on LFT when it catches light?

Just taken a LFT (old style tonsils and nostrils type). After half an hour I couldn’t see any line if I look at it straight-on, but if I look at it at an angle in bright light I can see a line which looks just like reflecting light, not dye.

I’m assuming this is negative, but am I right to do so?

Take another in the morning just to be sure.

Same thing with me today too, fingers crossed for a negative in the morning!

Faint line is usually the beginning of positive. When my DD had it I was testing everyday and they first came clear negative. One morning I looked at previous nights test and there was a very faint line. Next test was clearer and the next one was bright red.
From day 6 the tests have been completely negative - no faint line in any sort of light.

Repeat twice daily to be safe.

That's how my positive started too. Test tomorrow

Mine started that way. Actually thought it was negative again on Sunday (I was expecting a positive as my husband tested positive on Friday). It wasn't until later that day when I went to pick it up to throw in the bin that I saw the faintest positive ever. Barely visible. Yesterday was similar. Today it's a bit darker.

Not sure if that means it will drag on longer thank normal because it's taking so long to get to a dark positive

I had a very very faint line on a lateral flow this morning, had to have a pcr for work reasons and it has come back positive (no surprise as I am very symptomatic).
Interestingly the lateral flow I did just in my nostrils was completely negative and so I re-did my throat with another one and got the faint positive line.
