Conflicting pregnancy tests (unplanned) - help!

Hi everyone - posted yesterday about a vfl that came up on a boots own test I took after feeling strange for a few days.
Took a clear blue early digi last night and it said "pregnant", but one this morning with FMU said "not pregnant" plus a boots own came up pretty much negative (maybe there was a ghost of a line after 10 mins).
The second pic (lunchtime) is now showing a faint line the same as yesterday.

Not sure what to think. I have no idea where I am in my cycle so can't tell if I'm testing "early", but with my daughter lines got stronger day by day, and I've had this yes-no-yes-no going on.

I really need to know because the longer this goes on for, the more I want to keep the baby and right now is the WORST most IMPOSSIBLE time. Also if it's a chemical I'll be both relieved about not having to make the decision but also really sad because apparently it turns out I want another baby..... help! What do you think? What should I do?

Personally if you’re not sure where you are in your cycle I would say leave it for 48 hours and then test again. Your HCG should double every 48 hours for a healthy pregnancy so after 2 days you would expect to see a much more obvious line if all is well. Without knowing where you are in your cycle it’s impossible to say whether it is just too soon to test or whether it could be a chemical x

That is very faint, but I’ve never had 2 lines and not been pregnant, I am I the same boat did a test say on the loo waiting, the. Put in the bin, a few hours later I looked and it was positive but faint, waited a few day and I was definitely pregnant. I’ve got 2 boys 2 and 4 so timing is never the best. What will he will be! And you’ll be fine!

I agree with a pp that it depends where you are on your cycle. I’d wait a few more days and test again. Sadly with the boots test I had an evap line so if the line doesn’t come up within the timeframe then I’d bin the test.

Thanks folks - these faint lines appeared within the timeframe as very very faint lines and then darkened as they dried. In real life they are pink. It's just the back and forth with pos and neg that's confusing, I had expected to have a firm neg today or a stronger line.
With my daughter I ttc for 2 years and never had a whiff of a line, not even held up to the light, until the cycle I conceived her, so this is unfamiliar territory.
Both myself and my partner are anticipating job changes in the next 9 months so it would be really sketchy.
