HELP, positive or negative 😭

I've taken multiple tests and I just need opinions! I have an OB appointment tomorrow and I'm going to ask for a blood test but this popped with my first pee at the four minute mark! This would be my second baby and I always got faint positives with her too.

Does a lighter strip test mean anything after many dark ones?

I took the bottom one earlier but might’ve been that I didn’t have enough p in the cup. Does it mean anything if it goes lighter?

Positive test?

I'm late by a few days, I tested today and this was my result. What's the chance it's a false positive? I've not used these strip tests are they accurate? Feeling anxious and shocked because this was the last thing I was expecting!
