False positives

Ive been using superdrug early response tests and been getting faint positives on them, I've since read that they are known for false positives. Now I'm worried that my tests are false positives even though ive been feeling sick and been sick, more tired then usual and getting slight cramps. Ive got a first response coming but I'm second guessing whether I'm actually pregnant or not

Just use a digital test. If you use one with a sensitivity of 10miu it will be accurate if you have been getting positives for a while. When are you due on your period?

How faint are we talking? It's rare to get a proper false positive when it's a clear line, but very faint lines can unfortunately happen on most tests and just be evaporation lines etc.

UPDATE turns out the tests I did are either a nasty evap or a false positive. Did a first response this morning and it was negative
