Very Faint line at 9 DPO on early test or wishful thinking?

Hi everyone!
I am TTC and today 9 DPO. I did a Clear Blue early detection test around 2:30 pm today (unfortunately not with the first morning urine, as it was too late) and saw a really faint blue line appear around the 2 minute mark of the testing window.. It then became more difficult to see and slowly disappeared as the test dried out (15-30 min after testing). I have been urinating very frequently these past 3 days (which is extremely unusual for me), and also this morning woke up with back pain and mild cramping. My period is due in 5 days, so i tested at the very first hCG detectable opportunity the test offers.
Would you say i am just going through “wishful thinking” ? I attached some photos of the test, however, they were taken already around 10 minutes after the 3 minute mark reliable window for result interpretation. Can you recognize a very very faint line? Thanks and a wonderful day to everyone!

I would say a tentative congratulations - you've definitely got a squinter there and it looks blue. Test again in a few days with a pink dye test, they tend to me more reliable
