What does a dye run look like?

Cole • Ari 🧒 #2 on the way 🤰

I know it's a bit hard to see in the pictures but I've scrolled through this group to recognize a vvvfl when I see it... my question is, is it normal to see the dye sort of running through the test when you first saturate it? I saw the little window turn wet but then as the control line began to appear I saw pink dye across the whole thing so I assumed it was a dye run. But when I came back, still within the time frame at the 8 minute mark (the box for these said 5-10 minutes), this is what I had. This is my first time doing all this, I bought a pack of cheapies online to set my mind at ease during the tww but I'm 5 days to af now so I know it could be for real.

Is this test still valid? Should I get my hopes up for the day or stay calm and wait until tomorrow? 🙈
