First MMM baby of 2016? UPDATED!

[glitzy07]

I *think* I got a BFP this morning, estimated due date 1/2/2016.  

I'm not charting or anything, but I'm probably 8-11 DPO so I decided to test this morning with a Wondfo I had at home.  Unlike with C, where the line showed up immediately, nothing showed up right away and I was going to toss the test.  Instead, I set it on a tissue and jumped in the shower.  I was in shower for maybe 7 minutes max, and there was a definite line when I checked afterwards.  I have no idea if it's a true line or an evap line since it was outside of the 5 minute period.

There's a Walgreens down the street from my office that opens at 8am.  What kind of "real" test should I buy to confirm?  I know I've read something about blue dye versus pink dye, but don't remember what.  

Also, can someone comfort me regarding "drink til it's pink"?  Because I got (full bottle of wine) drunk on Saturday night at a bonfire and was hungover all day yesterday.  I'm not happy with myself right now because of it.  

But, happy things!  Squishy baby!

P.s. FB and Insta friends - keep this quiet, please.   We won't tell anyone until we hear a heartbeat.

ETA: Confirmation on second page!

I went to a beer and whiskey festival the day before I found out I was 5 weeks pregnant. J was fine. You're fine!

I've had no problems with blue-dye tests but get the FRER RIGHT NOW!!!!

Both of my babies were conceived around the holidays soooooooo...take a wild guess about how much I was drinking before my mid-January BFPs lol. This baby isn't born yet so no telling there, but DD seems fine so far. *knocks on wood*

[arch01]

Yay!

I got pretty drunk the night before we found out I was PG. DS is fine

[antoniamarchette]

Congrats!!! Definitely get a frer and report back!

Congrats!!! I got like 5 margaritas at happy hour plus wine when I got home, throw up the next day drunk the Friday before my BFP with DS on the Monday. He is absolutely fine.

I did the same thing - I had a giant sushi dinner and basically a full bottle of wine (which led to the full bladder that delivered a positive pregnancy test).

I told my doctor in typical FTM neurosis and she said you don't even share a bloodstream w/ baby until 6 weeks. So she was like "so, don't drink now, but don't worry for even a split second you've done any harm"

And congrats! (Pink dye test!)

[kdubs923]

Yes, pink dye! I haven't had issues with blue dye, but the stories on here convinced me to get a FRER when I had a few faint BFPs on blue dye.

SQUEEEEE!! Congrats!

Also, I was on a weekend away days before my BFP with DS. We hung out several breweries in that time. And drank A LOT. He seems to be A-OK!?

[glitzy07]

(heart) Thank you all for making me feel better about Saturday night.

FRER it is. Walgreens opens in 20 minutes!

[cincodemayo]

Shut up!! Congrats, lady!!! I'm so glad you tried the grapefruit shandy when you did.

So happy for you

[timorousbeastie]

Congrats!

[ssmjlm]

Yay!!

Congrats!!!!

Woo hoo! Congratulations! I would get a digital because I find those the easiest to read.

DD's birthday is 1/3 and I love it. She was 6 months when summer came which is a great age and lots of other things I like about the timing of her birthday.

[laurenh]

Congratulations! And no guilt at all about Saturday!

[Muddled]

Congratulations! Don't even worry about your weekend shenanigans.

[ktw]

Congratulations! Definitely don't worry about the drinking, like a PP said, you don't even share a blood supply with baby yet. I know a lot of people who have been in your situation, and not a one has had a baby with any issues that could be remotely attributed to drinking.

I was not super excited about a January birthday when H and I decided to start trying, mostly because of being stuck in the house with a tiny baby in the winter.  But that said, I hibernate all winter by myself anyway, so I guess the only difference is that I'll have someone attached to me while I'm sitting my butt on the couch binge-watching tv.  Haha.

Congrats!!!

Congrats! Go buy a FRER!

eta: my twin brothers were new year's babies and got lots of freebies for being the first born in the town that year. Just hope for that

[chickens987]

Well reading this thread explains a lot about MMM babies....


Mostly about how if you get shitfaced in super early pregnancy, you end up with super cute and smart babies!

Congrats!

[bananapancakes]

Yay! Look forward to the FRER update!

[boxerdog]

Add me to the list of "drunk the night before my BFP"

Good luck!!!!

I went on a winery tour the weekend before my bfp with Max. I was waaaay drunk.

glitzy07- I wasn't so sure about the January birthday thing either, but it was SO NICE to not have to leave the house or commute in the dead of winter. Congrats!

[nextbigthing]

Congratulations! And don't worry a bit about the wine, I drank a ton of beer on the Saturday before getting my BFP that Tuesday, you're fine

[hermione]

Congrats!!

[cece]

Congratulations!! How cool would it be to have the first baby of the year in your area!

[jene]

Congrats! This is so exciting!!

[noodleskooze]

Don't worry about the drinking this past weekend.

Get a pink dye or a digital!

[shelbyann]

Congrats! Def get a FRER or a digital. Can't wait to see the update!

I spent basically the entirety of my 2WW drinking with DD, LOL. We were on vacation. She is fine.
