Sensitive question about drinking and TTC
AF is due the 17th.....this weekend is a St Patrick's day parade that has, in the past, been a huge party drink fest with good friends. I am so looking forward to it but my DH DOES NOT want me to drink...I know I sound selfish but for the past two months of us TTC I have not drank and got a BFN anyway...
I am not a big drinker at all but this is the one time a year I generally go overboard  I was thinking about taking a first response test first thing in the AM Saturday and go from there...........what do you think?

Re: Sensitive question about drinking and TTC
I think that you are ok to drink. If you are pregnant (which I am praying that you are), the alcohol that you consume will not be getting into the babys blood stream at this point.
So enjoy!!

Re: Sensitive question about drinking and TTC
I drink all the time in the 2WW.
You have to think literal....A baby is not more then a bunch of "cells" untill about 6 weeks of PG. There is NO blood stream for any alcohol to get in to that early.....

Re: Sensitive question about drinking and TTC
Unless you have true fertility issues, there is no reason why you can't drink. Jeez I have true issues and I drink -- after a time you have to stop putting things on "hold" "just in case..."

Re: Sensitive question about drinking and TTC
I didn't drink during the 2ww in the beginning either - but after doing that month after month and still getting BFN I decided it was OK to drink a little during the 2ww.
I think if you drink St Pats day you will be fine.

Re: Sensitive question about drinking and TTC
You can definitley drink. In fact, many people will tell you that being a little tipsy is the perfcet tiome for conception because you're extra relaxed. There were a lot of birthdays in January and February, as well as the Super Bowl, so I did quite a bit of boozing during the 2ww. I'm 8 weeks preggo today and so far so good (knock on wood) I just stopped drinking as soon as I got the BFP. I figured that getting pregnant could take up to a year and I wasn't going to stop drinking for a year, and THEN the 9 months of pregnancy.

Re: Sensitive question about drinking and TTC
Enjoy yourself! It might be the last time to do so. I drank the day before AF was due (and quite a bit). I found out i was preggers 2 days later. I told my doctor and he said don't sweat it, it does no harm to the baby at that time. Just don't drink after you find out.

I agree....enjoy yourself, and relax, the more you think about it the more stressed you will get.
