Opinions please?

Tomorrow is 8dpo and I'm going to a huge party for the 4th. There will be lots of drinking and jello shots. It will look odd if I don't drink because I am a drinker. Usually a glass or two of wine, or a few shots at a party.

Anyway- 8dpo is early to get a BFP, so I don't really want to test. However, my thought is to test anyway. If it's a BFP, obviously I won't drink. If it's not- think it's okay to do a jello shot (there's this one I guess they have EVERYONE do) and maybe sip on a wine cooler or two? I know many women say drink until it's pink and other say don't drink during the TWW because it's better safe than sorry.

That's how I got my first positive. I was going to a party that evening and decided to POAS just so I felt better about drinking (I was sure I was out for the cycle anyways). The faintest line ever popped up. I though I was going crazy. So I told everyone I was on a diet basically and drank water and coconut water.

i was always scared. as soon as we start trying i try to make sure i don't drink anymore just because if something did happen i'd never forgive myself. even though it's probably fine if you drink just a little! i've known tons of people that have beautiful healthy children and they drank during the tww cause they weren't trying so they had no idea.

So....regardless of how you personally feel...the simple fact is that the embryo is it's own entity until 5 weeks....it supplies all it's stuff until then...In my oppinion...If I took a test and it was negative I would feel completely safe drinking....and...god forbid something happen I would also know it had nothing to do with my 1 or 2 drinks...or 1 jello shot......I think if you take a test and it's negative it means there is no HCG in your body...which means your body is not pregnant.....You may still be able to become pregnant...but you are not in that time.....As with any decision we can only give you advise based on what works for us and everyone is different.....ALL that being said....I'm secretly going to hope that you might see a little something at 8 dpo and get all screwed up and have to deal with lying!!! hehehehehe...

Oh and if it makes you feel better...I had 2 drinks on Sunday and got my + monday.....I'm not even a little nervous about that!!

If anyone can help i would really appreciate it.
I O'd last week between Mon and Fri ( Not sure of exact day)
AF is either due 9th or 13th.
Should i leave testing until after the 13th? or should i try maybe the 10th or so?

Thanks

@lovelymiss: it's all about concentration. Technically babies are attached after they implant and it's possible at 8 DPO to be in the window between initial implantation and a positive test. That being said - don't get drunk. You could get away with 1-3 drinks (if you wanted to drink), I would suggest drinking them slowly and drinking a glass of water between them, so you never really get drunk. But you don't have to drink because you are at a party, could pull a Mrs. JJ and tell them you are on a diet, it's too hot to drink, etc. I didn't drink at a BBQ last night because I exercised right before we went out and asked for water to help me re-hydrate - no one batted an eye.

@R22: did you come of BC right before you started trying? I've been doing way too much research on all this fertility stuff and going 12 months without a BFP doesn't necessarily mean you have a problem - especially if you got off BC right before you started trying. And the data looks very promising for people who don't conceive in the first 12 months to do so in the second 12 months without medical intervention.

@Whyte82: It depends on how sensitive you are to early BFNs. If they don't bother you, you could test as early as the 7th. If you want to wait it out, the 12-13th should be safe to get a BFP if you are.

@chulie: I had totally forgotten about your friend and now, I am wondering if I can hire her! That's really just an amazing story, especially since she knew before you did! I love that you didn't wait to tell her, LOL, not that it mattered because she already "knew"

AFM ladies... I've had a rough day. Woke up, checked in online, ate breakfast, had to lie down because I've been having cramps/ lower back pain all day. I don't know if I should get excited that maybe 5 DPO isn't too early for implantation or should write it off as I did 30 minutes of 4 min walk, 1 win job intervals for the first time in a LONG time yesterday... and that feels like a lie, BTW. The cramping has mostly been barely above my pubic bone and I can't anatomically make that location make sense for my intervals.... only time will tell, right?
