Drinking alcohol in the 2WW???

[dollych]

Hi ladies. I am 1DPO and just wanted to know if it's safe to drink alcohol during the 2ww. I'm worried because I had 2 glasses of wine on Friday and went to a party last night and had quite a few I'm just worried sick now that the alcohol could effect the egg travelling and the implantation process. Does anyone know if it could effect anything?. Thanks xx

Going to say no as I didnt know I was pregnant with my first and before I found out I hosted a Massive Hen night and several other random pub sessions. Baby was perfectly fine. As soon as I found out (6wks) I stopped drinking.

I wouldn't knowingly, but I'm sure a one time thing accidently is fine. I'm not even eating anything you're supposed to avoid during pregnancy now though just in case. I'd rather be safe than have something happen. I can't wait until I can eat a COLD sandwich from Subway again.

don't worry plenty of people drink before they know they are pregnant you'll be fine xxxx

A friend of mine who was ttc took a test a day before and on the day she was going out on a hen do, both were negative. Then a few days later she took another and got her bfp. She went to the docs as she was concerned and he reassured her that giving her timings etc implantation wouldnt have taken place and therefore he said there was nothing to worry about. Hope that puts ur mind at rest x

As many alcoholics and people not trying to get pregnant end up pregnant, you will be fine. Drink till it's pink! Besides, there is no implantation yet to effect the baby.

I usually drink during my 2ww but this time I'm not drinking alcohol or coffee...see if it helps!!! It's worth a try xxx

Totally drink 'til it's pink...

You're only 1 DPO, so you're fine. Implantation does not occur until on average between 6 to 12 DPO, although the earliest has been around 5 DPO. You're still 4 days short of that lol. You're fine! Nothing is wrong with having a few drinks now and then. This TTC stuff is stressful. Shucks.

The baby won't be sharing your blood stream at this point so you should be fine. I know loads of people who have got drunk not knowing they are pregnant but obviouly stopped when they found out.

....having said that, I did feel really uncomfortable having 1 glass of wine yesterday on 6dpo so clearly not taking my own advice!!!

Thanks for your replies girls
I know i was only 1DPO and implantation hasn't even started yet, but i was just worried it may effect the fertilised egg ( I'm just a worrier!!!!)
I've read on the internet that alcohol may effect the fertilisation stage but I'm just going to relax and wait and see. Thanks.
Good luck xx

For me, since I'm 39, I have come to realize that any drinking could affect my chances of pregnancy so I completely stopped because I don't want ANYTHING to stand between me and my baby!!

Stopping all together couldn't hurt a thing ladies!!! (and I did like to drink, so anyone can do this if I can)

Drink till Pink!

My gp has said that it will not affect baby.

Got af today and was gutted but on the bright side I can now have a drink or two or three...at a wedding I'm going to in two weeds and be completely guilt free! Hope you ladies are doing well and the little witch hasn't got you too.
