When will I be negative?

[MyGiddyAunt1]

I’m on day 7 and this is my LFTs for the last 6 days- it’s not changing? Not even fading?

I was still testing bright positive on day 12...

Oh! So should I just ignore this and carry on?

Yeah that's what I did by day 9

I tested negative on day 10.

Ok- just worried that I might deteriorate suddenly-some posts here say that symptoms returned on day 7/8 etc so feel nervous

It depends to be honest so you never know. My worst days were day 1 and day 4. Otherwise I felt ok, just a bit of a cold.

I felt worst on day 2 and 3 and from day 4 onwards I felt fine. I was surprised it took so long for me to test negative!

After day 10 you stop testing anyway and are presumed not to be infectious - see government guidelines.
You will probably very quickly turn negative. Mine went from very positive day 7 to weak on day 8 and negative on day 9.

There’s no requirement to test or wait to be negative any more. It is just suggested that you should keep away from others for 5 days if you do do an initial test and it’s positive. Stop testing!

Can be up to 90 days or more after infection for some people before they start to test negative

@MyGiddyAunt1 I continued to test positive for 10 days when I had it a few months ago.
I know there will be people who say that the Government guidelines said 5 days then go about your business, but please don't go and mix with folks if you're still testing positive. A positive test shows you're still infectious.
Government guidelines were only ever changed to pander to people for whom Covid was a terrible inconvenience, economically speaking.

I hope you're feeling better soon.
