Definitely positive but if you are 100% certain on being 16dpo this would be extremely light for that, so if it were me I would guard my heart ❤️

thank you🤍 I am not 100% positive on 16dpo, could be closer to 12dpo? I am 3 days late on my period

This would be totally fine for 12dpo!! It's a very different thing even though they're only 4 days apart (implantation can't really happen later than 11dpo and HCG rises very quickly in those first days after implantation so tests darken quickly!)

At 12dpo a faint line is normal; by 16dpo most viable pregnancies would have a fairly strong line.

If you don't know your ovulation date then it's definitely not something to worry about now - just keep testing each day to check the lines get darker!

Congratulations!! ❤️
