Because we want it so bad that we can't help but look for the slightest glimmer of hope?

That's exactly it. We want to see something anything that isn't a straight up no. Something to keep us hoping that the next test we take is going to suddenly produce a bright positive result! In other words at times we like to torture ourselves lol! :)

my first positive I got was after the 5 minute window. I don't know how long after because I threw it away and didn't look until 3 hours later. the next morning I got nothing in 5 minutes, and then at 15 minutes had another faint line. I took 2 more intermittently later that day and ended up with a positive in 3 minutes that evening.
