8dpo - indent or positive?

Hi - I’m 8dpo and took a test earlier, put it back into the packet and then had to leave the house quickly so didn’t manage to read it. Came back an hour later and it looks like this. Has anyone had a positive with a thin line like this before early on? Or indent line do we think? Thanks

It’s invalid if you left it that long so ignore it.
Take another test and read it within the time window.

I agree with the previous poster, however it looks it's invalid if you don't look at it in time. I'd retest and make sure you look at it in the timeframe.

Edited to add: I just noticed you're also only 8 days DPO, so I'd wait a few days before testing

I don’t get why tests say they’re invalid if you read it past the time. If there’s a line there’s a line 🤷🏼‍♀️
I was 7dpo and I had a line slowly appear, I’d left it an hour before a line appeared.
