Clear blue are notorious for evaps and I can't see a line on the strip test

If your period is 4 days late I'd expect a very obvious positive, as PP said definitely do a FRER

@Sam862508 frer are very reliable and the most sensitive, so a positive on them is a definite. Congratulations

The FRER has colour to it, sorry to say I don’t think it’s an evap, it just looks like it’s too early to pick up on the other tests. However, at 4 days late I would be expecting all tests to show a strong positive. If you can hold off until Friday, I would do some tests again then because your HCG should have doubled so you should be getting faint lines on all tests by then. Hope you get an answer soon.

Well the biggest problem is I was on the pill! So my break started Saturday! I can’t tell you when I ovulated or even when I fell pregnant! Xx

It's unusual to get a false positive, and especially numerous false positives. It might be worth getting a confirmation blood test x

I'd say because the FRER is faint and the others are negative then you're very early days still, maybe get a clearblue weeks indicator one?

I had a negative strip test and positive FRER like that at about 11dpo and by 14/15dpo
All tests were dark and obviously positive

Hey update for you all, first response digital said 1-2weeks pregnant. Have been testing for a few days! Bought a pack of 5 test strips from wilko! Lines are getting lighter still just visible but not dark! No dye stealers or anything like that!
I did a clue blue Friday and it was very obviously positive!
