Does anyone else look for faint lines compulsively?

I've done so many tests and still not had anything approaching a strong positive, but every test seems to show an insanely faint line, most likely evaporation or indent lines.
But I can't stop squinting and looking for them under the strongest lights in the house. I feel like I've gone crazy!

Yes! I’m not trying to conceive but when I have done a test I always see a very, very faint line.

Oh yes, hold it in different lights, shine the phone torch on it, take it out of the bins hours later so look at it again....

@florababy84 do you have any pictures of tests you can share with us.
Also I have recently turned into a compulsive tester! I just can't help myself.

Little bee, that's okay and I see your line!! Way clearer than mine!

Little bee, how many dpo are you? That looks like a line to me, and I've looked at several (hundred) in my time!

@Littlebee1990 I don’t think you are imagining it!

Yes me too Sad

Not crazy, I’m sure we all do it! I’ve been squinting and holding this up to the window since 6AM and I think for once I’m maybe not imagining it!! But trust me.. everyone does the same
