haven't crossed my mind vs didn't crossed my mind

The correct phrase is 'haven't crossed my mind.' The use of 'haven't' indicates that the action of crossing the mind has not occurred up to the present moment. 'Didn't crossed my mind' is incorrect because 'didn't' is the past tense of 'do,' which is not suitable for expressing a current state of mind.
