13dpo faint positive but bleeding!?

Hey everyone!
I have taken multiple tests over the last few days all of which have been negative until this morning where I took a clear blue rapid, there’s a faint line there. However there was also blood when I wiped this morning, period should be due Wednesday this week. It wasn’t like spotting or implantation I don’t think due to the colour as it was really really red?! Any ideas on what this could mean? Attached a photo of test for you all to see! As I don’t think it’s my eyes deceiving me!
I am also 33, I have one daughter already who’s 8, so I haven’t been through this process for such a long time! Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you all in advance!!

It could be a faulty line? It's thin and these tests are notorious for leaving behind faulty lines. Can you try with a different test?

Yeah I’m gunna try the next time I go to the toilet, with a different test to see which should be soon!

The CB test looks like an evap unfortunately OP, they are terrible, can't believe they still sell them tbh. If you've tested again and it's negative I'd say it was a faulty test.

Thank you!
this was taken around 2.5 minutes of the 3min window of when you’re supposed to read tests hence why I’m so confused. I don’t like that tests do this! This was an ultra early clear blue one as well!

The only clearblue 1 minute tests I find are quite reliable because the cross sign is pretty obvious to make out. Maybe get one of these tests ? Always found reliable or red dye tests x

Thank you! That’s a good idea, I’m going to test again tomorrow or Wednesday morning first thing and see if I get the same result and go from there. It might be k just request a blood test from drs as my drs are pretty good and so I’m hoping they’ll do one

I always dip the test instead of erring on it,Saves you from potentially flooding the test. Keep us updated 😊fingers and toes crossed for you 🤞

It definitely looks as though the clear blue left a faulty line. I'm so sorry.
