TTC - afraid to get me hopes up

Yesterday I took a One step pink dye test at 2pm. Very light line but could only be seen if in the light had a flashlight on it. Today took the same one very faint line with First wee but like that definitely there without a flashlight. So I used the same pot of wee and took a clear blue test. Very thick faint line within 2 minutes. By the ten minutes mark it had turned into a faint blue line. It's definitely blue so don't think it's an indent. Not 100% sure but I am somewhere between 11 and 13 DPO so worried it's not sticking. I have 30-35 day cycles so my period is due Fridayish. What do you think? The first image is withing 2 minutes of dipping the second is about 10 minutes after.

Can't comment on the clear blue as I think they shouldn't even be sold.... but of you've got lines on other tests too I'd say your in for a good shot!
Unfortunately, tests won't be able to tell you the outcome of the pregnancy, so there is a whole load riding on just blind hope
If it eases your anxiety though I also have long periods, normally 32 days but sometimes closer to 40 and I didnt get an obvious I can tell its a line without squinting, and even then i was unsure of the line until the day after I was due on (before that you could have easily mistaken it for an evap), and then it didn't get really dark while I was still testing a week and a bit later (stopped testing after I had a scan) I'm not 13 weeks and growing!

Congratulations 🎉 👏🏻 Thanks so much. Yeah the other tist are very much squint or shine light on the cheap strips tests. I am going to buy a first response and maybe some digitals today and just stay cautiously optimistic. Thank you so much

I took a One step pink dye at 2:25 and there is a ghost of a pink line I am going to hold out hope until tomorrow
