Unsure about test results

I've done 3 at home pregnancy strip tests, 2 yesterday and one this morning. The 2 yesterday were very faint lines, the one this morning was much darker but still fainter then then control line. I've taken a digital this afternoon which says not pregnant.... feeling confused. I'm 2/3 days late on my period and I've felt nauseous this last week. Would like to know what others think
TIA

Indents? Dye bleed?
Can you attach a picture so we can see?
If pregnant I would expect a very obvious line if late tbh, and a positive digital.

That's the test from this morning. I thought maybe evaporation line but it has colour that's the same as the control line... or maybe I'm wishful thinking

The line does look darker then in the photo

I would take it as a positive at the moment. Some cheapy tests take ages to darken. Or you just have slower rising (or a lower starting level of) HCG.

All you can do is wait a few days and test again.

Thank you, I'm just being impatient

There is dye bleed on it though, maybe get a different brand and test again with FMU?

Dip in a sample rather than peeing on the tests. Good luck 🤞🏻

False negatives are common, false positives rare. That's definitely positive in the picture. Test again in a couple of days, but I'd be optimistic if I were you.

Thank you for your comments, advice taken and I'll leave it another few days before testing again

Just thought I would update in case anyone else is in my position and comes across this post... waited another day and tested with FMU and digital test showed pregnant 1-2 weeks
