Very faint positive after missed period on a 25-day cycle or wishful thinking?

Hi everyone, I’m a bit confused and could do with some advice.

I have a 25-day cycle, and my last period started on 20th April, so my next period was due on 15th May.

On 15th May I took a cheap pregnancy test from Amazon and there looked like a very faint line, but I wasn’t sure if I had read it too late.

Today (17th May), I took another test at midday (not first morning urine, which I know isn’t ideal). A very faint line appeared within about a minute.

I’m now unsure whether this is a positive or if I’m just hoping it is. I thought the line would be darker two days after my period was due.

Has anyone had something similar or can offer any advice on whether this looks positive? TIA

That’s a positive test! Congratulations! Just to warn you when I got a faint positive that quickly I was having twins 😂

I’m no expert on how dark it should be but there’s definitely a line . How pregnant do you think you are?

Thank you everyone for your replies!
I took another test this morning seems to be a darker positive! My period was due on Friday so I think I am around 4 weeks! I have had 5 previous early miscarriages so I am really hoping this will be my rainbow baby.
