Hey

Wondering if anyone is at the same sort of time as me at 9dpo. It's cycle 1 of trying to conceive baby number 2, I have a 3 year old daughter.

I've been feeling so nauseous for the past couple of days and had really bad back ache yesterday. I feel totally off so thinking I may get a positive but who knows. I'm holding out to test as with my first I was wild and was testing multiple times a day at this point. AF is due in 7 days so going to try and hold out.

Love to hear from others x

Hi @jennifercx And @BrunetteHair
Im 8dpo too but I have been testing on cheap strip tests I cant help myself even though I know Implantation may not even have happened yet.
@BrunetteHair I also had a loss in August and nothing since, its so hard.

Sending you lots of baby dust ✨
With my first it took a good few months to get a positive. Are you using ovulation sticks?
Yes fingers crossed for both of us. I suffered quite badly with sickness in my last pregnancy and this feels very similar. I think I may wait until Saturday to test if I can manage to wait that long x

8dpo over here and similarly struggling to hold off until at least Friday! Cycle 8 of TTC baby number 1 and beginning to feel like there must be something wrong :( I had a chemical in August but nothing since. However, I’ve just felt different today too - nausea and mild cramps which I’ve managed to semi convince myself is implantation cramping (I weirdly never normally cramp at all before AF arrives).

Fingers crossed for a positive for both of us!
