What day did you test negative?

I had 2 days of mild symptoms and negative lateral flow tests. Then a positive test with head cold symptoms, painful sinuses, fatigue. No cough, just a ticklish throat. No fever. No loss of taste/smell. Now I am 12 days after that first positive test and still getting a strong positive. My symptoms have subsided, leaving me with a small amount of residual mucus in my nose and a minor post nasal drip. When did you finally test negative, or did anyone stop testing after the full 10 days?

My cousin was still testing positive on day 11 so she called the helpline and they told her it was ok to stop isolating. Maybe try that?

I tested negative on days 6 & 7 & then positive again on day 14! Negative day 16.

The faintest of faint lines today - only visible in certain lights. I really hope that's the end of it now!

I tested negative on day 7-8, and felt ok and nearly back to normal. Smell and taste went completely for a few days. "Piece of cake this Covid lark" I thought. Hovever on day 10 I felt so ill and now at 3 weeks I have bronchitis, no taste or smell and still feel rubbish.
Beware day 10.!!

Tested negative day 9. Day 10 today, waiting to see if I get worse again, but should be back at work tomorrow. Definitely had the omicron symptoms - sneezing, cold symptoms, headache, earache and painful sinuses.

Still tested positive on day 9. I didn't do any further tests, but I kept isolating until the end of day 10. DD tested negative on day 9 and day 10, so got to stop isolating one day earlier.
