Cheapies HCG vs digitals and First response

Is there a difference between the cheapies hcg strips (ex easy@home, pregmate, clinical guards) vs clear blue and first responses digital HPT? I am due for my AF July 22nd and I just took a first response early 13dpo, July 20 and got a BFN! :( I guess I might be out this month! Hoping for at least vvfl and I’m also having lots of thick creamy discharge. Sigh idk what to think anymore!!!!
