So the think positive thread got me wondering about TWW drinking. What are your thoughts about drinking during the TWW?
Brought to you by the fact that I'm in the TWW (but only around 2 dpo) and it's my birthday so we're going out to celebrate tonight and I want to be able to enjoy myself. The longer our TTC process goes, the more firmly I am in the "drink til it's pink" camp. That said, I would not get drunk or binge drink during the TWW (or ever, really).
I'm normally in the drink til it's pink camp. I read some stuff about higher success probability with treatments if you abstain so I am for that reason. I would probably break that rule on my bday though
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.
I am in the drink till its pink camp. You don't share a bloodstream until 6 weeks, anyway. I wouldn't get black out drunk, but a few drinks won't hurt anything. Gotta do whatever it takes to enjoy yourself during the 2WW.
oneslybookworm - me too re: the small amount of wine when pregnant. But for me likely only towards the middle/end of the second trimester and in the 3rd too.
I'm in the drink till it's pink group. H and I are going on a brewery tour this weekend and I plan to enjoy myself even though I will be 10DPO. My last few cycles have been kind of weird, so I probably won't test until at least 12DPO. I am the same as all of the others to post- I'm not going to go out and get blackout drunk but a few drinks over the weekend will be just fine!
