Very faint positive tests at 11 Dpo cheapies, too early?

Hi sorry first post but I’ve been scrolling this thread for days and need some advice please.
i have one child turning 3 in September. I tested very positive very early with him. I was on birth control until after he turned 2. Began tracking cycles 3 cycles ago. First track was all over the place, second not successful. This one I got a very obvious positive ovulation test on the 12th. Did the tango on the 12th and the 14th with hubby. Didn’t think much of it but found a couple cheapies HCG tests in my ovulation pack and took them at 9dpo (if I ovulated on the 12th) and saw a squint your eye positive but not much colour to them so it left me confused. Ordered some early sensitive cheapies off of amazon and took one the next day and saw a very very very faint positive. Took another one next morning and again very very very faint positive. No darker but had colour instantly within the time frame. Took a first response and clearly negative. Has anyone experienced false positives with these cheapies or am I too early? I’m now 12dpo today and resisted the urge to test again. I’m due my period in 2 days. Also is it possible I could’ve ovulated a couple days later despite the positive ovulation test?
thank you for any advice. Attached a picture of the Amazon cheapie I took on possible 11dpo. Please excuse the messy windowsill, we’re redoing the bathroom.

You don’t often get a false positive as they have to have detected HCG. These may just be more sensitive than the others. I’d be cautiously optimistic and get a pink dye test to do the day your period is due. Good luck!

That’s similar to the line I got at 11DPO (top test) 😊
