I went through a positive-negative-positive cycle myself over the space of about 10 days in January. It seems that the home tests aren't as sensitive as the lab ones, so the virus can drop to levels that aren't detected by the home ones, but it's not actually gone. The rebound bumps it back up to a level the tests can detect again.
