Faint line 10DPO on ClearBlue but other tests negative? False positive or too early?

Hi, I am really new to pregnancy test land - I am 27 Y/O, have been off the pill for approx. 6 weeks after being on it for 14 years. I have tracked my ovulation this cycle using the clearblue ov tests - we had unprotected sex on my fertile days.

10DPO I tested (yesterday) and got this v faint thin line on the ClearBlue early detection tests, however I've tried a cheaper £1 early response test todau and the regular Clearblue test, both which are a clear negative.

I've attached the "positive" result here. Other positives I've seen on here seem to have a thicker line but I know it can vary.

I have ordered more early detection tests which hopefully come tomorrow.

Am I likely pregnant and perhaps the hormone levels are so low that detecting it is too difficult or is this a case of false positive?

Sorry but I think it may be a false positive because of the wet under the cap, if you flood tests you can get a line. The line also isn’t consistently coloured all the way along, it’s paler/broken towards the bottom.

Ah, I didn't even know flooding tests was a thing that affected the result... okay. Thank you for your input!
