Day 9 - Dark Positive

[fejkalove]

Hello,

I've been testing since Day 5 hoping to get 2 negatives to no avail - my tests have been getting fainter but this morning on Day 9 I've tested and it's incredibly dark again. Has anyone else experienced this? I've got myself in such a panic.

What is your panic? Is it that you want to see proof that you are virus free?

You can either
Keep testing until negative
Stop testing and be sensible about contact with other people for a bit longer

I'm 30 weeks pregnant and wanting it to be over Covid asap. Fed up of being stuck in a room away from the rest of the family etc.

Thank you, am aware I can leave isolation tomorrow was just surprised as I've not heard of this before so wondered if anyone else had experienced the same.

My day nine was really strong after a faint day eight but totally negative day ten

Ah, sorry OP that's rubbish. I totally understand you want to see that pesky line gone. Well you are at the finish line. Perhaps today's test is just a bit of an anomaly. I think it's unlikely you are more infections now at day 9. Hope you are clear tomorrow for some peace of mind.

These are DD's day 5 and 6 tests (days 6 and 7 of being positive).
She had a fever and felt rubbish (no other symptoms) for 3 days and feeling totally fine since then – very slight morning sore throat and slightly runny nose now. My hopes of her being able to go back to school this week are fading!

I had a negative one day 7, a
Definite positive day 8, then weak positives
On days 9 and 10. Negatives day 11 onwards.

Rest up OP.
