both are worth the same <| sep |> 8 DPO . Yesterday I was totally nuts symptom spotting . Felt some pretty funny pinching in one very specific place that lasted about an hour . I tried to tell myself that it couldn ' t be implantation because everything I ' ve read likens implantation cramps to period cramps where this was a very specific and focused pinching . But no matter how many times I told my brain that it wasn ' t implantation , my brain kept saying , yea , but doesn ' t that feeling make sense to be implantation though ? ?? Shut up brain . Otherwise had a wonderful holiday only to go home to the empty apartment all over again . Nephew is coming over to stay the night which should fend off some loneliness . Glad you all seem to have had mostly good Thanksgivings .
