Please HELP. How likely is it that I had sex on Dec 19th and tested positive for pregnancy 1 week later on Dec 26th? I'm trying to figure out which day I conceived

So I just took a pregnancy test, I didn’t want to look at it since I always get disappointed but as soon as I turn around I see a faint line,I honestly don’t know how to react I want to maintain positive but im scared it could just be a false positive. I just don’t want to give my hopes up but im praying I get my bfp soon 🙏🏽❤️ im 10 DPO when should I test again? AF is due this Friday.

Got 2 more pregnancy test in all I have 5 the first one was positive like for real and the last 4 are negative and I was crying this morning because even though I am 19 I love kids and one day I wanna adopt so I think the 1st pregnancy test was a false positive💔😞
