With my son, my epidural didn't work!!! I had pretty much no pain relief at all, until they decided to do the c-section. They did it up higher to numb me up for that, I basically couldn't feel anything below my chest.
And Little Spy, your m/s sounds like mine was, I remember I had a terrible aversion to chicken though - any kind of meat, really. But I just kept eating, because when my tummy was empty, I'd get sick. I actually gained almost all of my weight in the first trimester, and then leveled out after that.

If I'm blessed with a "next time" I'm going to choose feeling nauseated over the weight gain. (Yeah, like I have that much control once hormones kick in, lol!)
9 dpo is still early firerabbit, but you know that! Best wishes and I hope it turns BFP soon!
As for me...still feeling undecided and scared about what I'm going to do. I know that I'm horrible at NTNP...I obsess even more! So, maybe just use opks this month? I do like to know my dpo, as my cycles suddenly aren't as regular as they used to be. A few cycles back, the one when I actually didn't by any tests and start testing until the day AF was due, I had a 40 day cycle! The longest I'd ever had! So I basically still went through a ton of tests.
Grr....
