Alcohol and TTC

marieb · Apr 14th, 2012, 08:37 AM

I'm planning on going out with a few friends for drinks tonight. Last time we went out I abstained because I was in the TWW and didn't want to take chances.
This time I'm only on CD11 and since I didn't ovulate until CD 20 last month I'm figuring it's probably pretty safe to have a drink or two.

Do you drink at all while TTC?

I haven't had anything since before my pregnancy with my daughter. We started trying right again after her birth and didn't want to take a chance. I guess I could in the couple of weeks that we know I'm not pregnant, but in a way I'm kind of hoping that the negative tests are just wrong.

I usually indulge when AF shows and I might have a couple of drinks here and there before I O, but never after O. You should be just fine if you know there's no chance of you being preggers. Have fun tonight!!

I indulge in a glass of wine or two during the 2 week wait, to keep me sane. Never get drunk thou. With my little boy I found out I was pregnant after our honeymoon (We agreed to stop using contraception after our wedding!) We were in Thailand, I drank every day (sometimes lots, shots etc). Did a test on the day I got back and I was pregnant, worried a bit but ds is nearly 2 and fab, just would not worry too much x x x
