Due date/pregnant with irregular periods

What do I do? I have irregular cycles between 27-49. Yesterday on CD 42 I took a test and had a faint positive (at 3pm) this morning with FMU CD 43 I took another test and the line was slightly a bit darker so I got a digital clear blue took that this morning about 10:30 after holding my wee and it says not pregnant.
I know it’s probably because I’m early because it’s very rare to get false positives but now I’m worried that the other test are evap or something.
Should I just wait until I get a positive clear blue or would the doctors be able to do a blood test? Because I’m irregular I have no idea when I ovulated/ how far along I am etc if I am pregnant.

I would say you are likely early pregnant and the ClearBlue is less sensitive than the other tests. Give it a few days and then test again and see if you have a stronger line. (I don't think you have to wait for a ClearBlue to tell you anything particularly, they're not more or less valuable than other tests!) I think a GP is unlikely to test again, if you've got a positive test (which you have, as long as those lines came up within the window) then they kind of take your word on that. Congratulations!

It looks pretty positive to me - jus wait until you get a stronger line. They won't do a blood test but would go on your test or give you one of their own.
They'll give you a due date at your first scan and they'll insist you go by that. (In my case a whole week earlier than it could possible have been which caused issues- but that's a whole other story)
Congrats.

Just looked on the box and realised I bought menopause test I’m so upset and angry at myself! Is there any slight small chance it can detect pregnancy? I can’t stop crying after nearly a year getting excited that my 3 year old was going to be a big sister gone down the drain
