TTC - Ovulation Strips

Hi! It's my first time using ovulation strips. Tried them today and this is what I got. Can someone explain to me how they work and what this means. I'm on Day 9 of my cycle. Should I keep testing everyday until I get a dark line?

Has anyone else had negitive blood tests and still was pregnant?

I had line progression on home tests but the blood test came back as my HCG was under 5. I had bleeding that we believe to be implantation. I have an appointment at the OBGYN next month but I’ve been nervous that the blood test was correct.
