Confused! 😕

Ladies, I took this test this evening. It came in a pack of 2, FRER, 1 digital and the one attached in the photo. I swear I can see a faint line, but I took the digital & it said negative 😣 I thought if this one picked up anything, so will the digital since they’re both supposed to be early detection.

Two tests

I took a test yesterday (in comments) and this morning (below). Are these faint lines? I have one more test. Should I wait a few days and see if it’s dark?

Evaporation line or positive?

Don’t even know where I am in my cycle as only came off the pill couple of months ago. Left this in the bin after taking yesterday afternoon and pulled it out this morning as wanted to look again and there’s a faint pink line. I assume it’s evaporation?
