It’s never nice seeing that sort of jump, is it? No matter how many of us will advise you “don’t worry, a one-off result can just be a blip” it’s still scary!
So I’m really pleased that it was just a blip for you. PCR testing is somewhat an art as well as a science. Things like time from blood draw to test can affect the result. My doctor told me she sees a change in results over the summer when the weather is warmer, and attributes it to the temperature the blood samples may be for a while (I can’t remember if it’s higher, or lower results).
But the point being that you can never be sure with a single result. Years ago I went from MR3 to undetectable over 3 months. I didn’t believe it then, and I don’t believe it now because I’ve never had one since!
