Has anyone had to get tested for covid??

We’ve had a few inconclusive at work - just means the sample wasn’t good enough for a result and had to be redone

My partner took a home test, a month or so ago. It was well organised, you phone the number, give them your details, and they send a home test kit. The results take about 2 or 3 days, better to do it after the weekend, so there is less waiting time. You post the test back, in a specially desinated post box.
My partner's test was negative, but what really surprised us both, were the reactions from some friends and aquaintences, whilst waiting for the results. My partner was made to feel like a bit of a leper, people were really anxious and kept pressing him for the results, when he didn't have them. My partner said, you certainly find out who your friends are! He is usually an optimistic person, so it was a little disconcerting to hear him say that.

I’ve had two. The first one they only swabbed my mouth.
the second, up the nose.

Both negative.

I had one test, pre a day surgery appointment. The hospital sent a person to my house to do the test outside. She wore a mask. I found the throat version more intrusive than the nasal version. It made me gag and cough. Result was confirmed negative in a text message that night.

My daughter had a test last week after work sent her home when she started coughing!!!! Test result was negative, but its that time of year when there's going to be a lot of coughs about.

So I’m currently nearly 8 weeks pregnant and it came out at the beginning of the week that one of our employees in work had tested positive for the virus. I don’t think I have it I have no symptoms but I went and had a test done yesterday more so for peace of mind and because I started to get really paranoid about it. I got the results this morning and it’s come back unclear so I’m having to go and do another today just wondering if anyone else has had the same result and it ended up negative?? Or has anyone had a test done

I’ve had quite a few inconclusive results come through and when we reswab them it comes through negative

Just means the sample wasn’t good enough to get a reading

Yes because I had symptoms and it came back positive. I honestly felt so poorly. I’ve recovered but I’m not 100% with my energy levels. This was in July.
