Difference in tests

Hi! I don't have any experience with pregnancy tests, so I was just wondering if it's normal that different tests look this different? On the picture you can see a Boots early test from yesterday morning (but I had only slept for about 5hrs), a clearblue early test from yesterday afternoon, and another Boots test from this morning. Can it be normal that the boots test is so much fainter and that there's not much difference between yesterday morning's and this morning's test? I'm 11 dpo and my period would usually start today. I've been getting what feels like period-like cramps from time to time, but nothing like it would be normally. Would be super grateful to hear other people's experiences (or opinions!)

ah I meant can it be normal/fine that the clearblue test is so much fainter than the boots one

Oh yeah, those Boots ones are more sensitive, I think, and anyway Clearblues are crap. Now you have your bfp, I'd ditch those blue dye tests entirely. Congrats!

Ahhh congrats. You got your bfp!! I’ve heard awful stories about the CB tests so I just don’t bother with them. Stick to the pink dye ones. Were you ttc for long?

Thank you both so much! Yeah from googling around I've gotten the strong impression that clearblue tests should come with a big warning label... So weird. I'd done the other clearlblue test of that pack the day before and got the weirdest faint line that included a bit that went horizontal?! @Rosieposie0301 It's our first month ttc, and I wasn't really expecting it to happen straight away so I think/hope I'm now just overthinking things 😅

@wiedehopf you definitely aren’t, you’re pregnant!! I got my bfp last night after ttc baby number 2 for 6m. It’s been a long 6m (I know in the grand scheme of things 6m ttc isn’t that long but for me it’s been feeling so long). I conceived 2nd month with my first so I thought that would happen again for me but just so relieved that I now got my bfp on month 6!!

@Rosieposie0301 ahh congrats, that's fantastic!
