Driving me nuts!

Ok last time I swear. Is there any reason why it would still be doing this? Other than of course not pregnant. But I've had a period every single month (not on the dot but at least 4-5 days max) since my son was born 2 1/2 years ago. My last period was Sept. 26 but it was spotting/only when I wiped for 4 days. Took a test a week ago 10/9 this is it.

This is today

I see a vvvvfl but I'm not understanding since I've only spotted as a period when I got pregnant before. Should I just wait til my next one?? Which says in a week but it varies between 4-5 weeks. With 3 children woulda thought I would've known the game by now 😒
