First Response Digital vs. Clear Blue Weeks Indicator

So here's my story. Husband and I have been trying to conceive for the last 2 months only. I'd been on the pill for the last 10 years and thought for sure we wouldn't conceive for awhile still. I was due on sunday to begin my period and nothing came. I didn't think too much of it but bought a couple First Response Digital pregnancy tests anyways with the intent of taking it in a week if I still hadn't started. Well on a whim, the Monday morning, I decided what the hell, might as well take one. A few minutes later, my result said positive. At this point I was shocked it happened so fast. So I told my husband and went to the clinic. The clinic took.a test and first told me it was negative and asked why I thought I was pregnant. After explaining to him my situation and showing the results of my test, a very definite yes +, he said he trusted my test more and went to recheck his test, which he said oh there's a faint line. He schedule me for blood work and told me to go see my doctor. That night I went to bed, still hardly believing the situation. I woke up at 2 and needed to pee again, so to see if it was real or not, I took the second first response test. Again it came back positive. I went about my day, got my blood work done. I had always been miticulous about charting my periods, ovulating amd intercourse so I figured i was only about a month along according to my last period. Got a little more excited and even built up the nerves to tell my family we were expecting. Now, I had bought the clear blue weeks indicator test just to confirm my suspicions as to how far along I am. Although it said first morning pee, I took it at 2 am again when my body woke up. But this time, it said not pregnant. I'm trying to stay calm but now I'm starting to doubt this pregnancy. 1 positive, 1 false negative, 1 positive, 1 negative. What do I do?

How confusing for you :( I'd test again tomorrow morning with FMU, have you had any signs of your period coming? When was your period due?

Clear Blue tests aren't as sensitive as FRER by a long way. Ignore the Clear Blue. You are 3-positive-test pregnant Grin
You're more likely to get a false negative than a false positive - from testing too early or using less sensitive brands.
The false negative was actually a faint positive and a line is a line Smile

When will your blood test come back? That will put your mind at ease.

Well I took another first response test this afternoon when I started cramping and minor spotting. And it came back positive. So that's 3 first response positive's, 1 doctor false negative, 1 clear blue negative. Leads me to believe this is real. Also, I'm pretty sure the cramping/spotting was me implanting. My blood test was on Monday and although I keep asking the clinic and my family doctor if the results are in, apparently they aren't yet. I'm hoping my doctor will look at them soon and at least confirm it for me before my appointment on the 17th. It would just feel better if I had the results from the blood work.
