Positive test then negative

Hello everyone
it’s been a while since I’ve been on a page like this…
I took a Morrisons red line test which was clearly positive, the a clear blue digital which was negative… HELP! Which is more likely to be wrong? I will do another clear blue digital in the morning, shall I do a red line one too? I have one of each left?
I had a very small period and Boxing Day and the day after, had spotting for a week before that but it just seems like there’s something going on… if the test is negative tomorrow I will accept it, but the Morrisons positive has thrown me!!!!

Just take another one in few days, don’t keep torturing yourself testing daily. Wait 3 or 4 days.

At least you can pretend you’re not pregnant for a few more days and enjoy: smoked salmon, pate, fizz, rare steaks, blue cheese.

Clear blue digital tests rely on a sensor to read how dark the lines are, if you are still early days they often give false negatives! They are notorious for being wrong if you test too early. Or you could unfortunately be having a chemical pregnancy

I would test again with a normal line test and see what it says. Re test with clear blue again in a few days if you get another positive x

Ok thank you.
I left the line test at my partners and only have the digital test here, I’m not early, which makes me wonder if the line test was wrong but it was quite a strong line. Unless I ovulated later than expected then obviously I know that would change things.
Will do digital with first wee and then the line test later tomorrow morning x
