Confusion of pregnancy tests

Hoping someone can help me. On Saturday I found out I was pregnant (my period is due today Monday 28th July) and isn’t here. On Saturday I tested using clear blue and it showed up a positive cross straight away, Sunday I did a clear blue and it said 1-2 weeks pregnant. I have tried Morrisons Sainsbury’s and a brand called ovum but all are coming back negative, the ovum one has a very slight second line but it took about 5 minutes to show. I had a miscarriage in may this year so I’m crossing my fingers this will be a positive healthy pregnancy but my mind is obviously all over the place.
can anyone offer any advice?

5 mins to show is a long time for a positive op

I know, that’s what I mean. I’m confused why clear blue are all showing positive but the others aren’t. It does say in fairness on the ovum website to wait 3-5 minutes but it’s still very faint

All those tests are positive, in my opinion. Some people would only be testing today and take the clearblues as confirmation. Don't forget that tests all vary in their sensitivity. I always got veeeeery faint lines on cheaper tests, and clear as day lines on FRERs (testing with same urine).

Thank you so much. I think I will wait until Friday and re test again. On Friday I will be 4 weeks 3 days so should surely show up clearer?!

Do you an update OP? Hope it all worked out for you 🍀🤞🏼 I am asking as I took an Ovum test at 10dpo which had a faint line (showed up very quickly) but then took another x2 ovum’s tests on 12dpo and both were very much negative
