Clicky: drinking on CD25

[AmyRI]

Would you drink at all on CD25 if you were TTC?

Options are:
No
1-2 drinks
Drink 'til it's pink

[mcfelix]

Yes I absolutely would.

[turtlegirl]

Yes, no question!

But I'm a lush who is totally looking forward to drinking all.the.wine. as soon as I get home from the hospital in a few weeks.

What she said.

Drink till it's pink. You don't share a blood supply until 6 weeks.

[Cicero]

I will use this opportunity to mention that we've recently discovered a KY bourbon-barrel aged Cabernet that has the most amazingly smooth finish from the barrels. The case we bought is mocking me from the closet because I don't want to open a bottle for a few sips and sacrifice the rest to H. I will probably be taking a bottle with me to the hospital.

Assuming you aren't waiting until you are 3 weeks late to test or some similar nonsense, I am firmly Team Drink Til It's Pink.

 

[water*drop]

I did with both kids, so obviously my answer is yes.

No, period isn't due until Tues-Thurs next week.

You are all making me feel much better about having a Dels frozen lemonade and vodka cocktail at a wedding tomorrow night!

[chickadee77]

ONE cocktail on CD 25?

LOLOLOLOL

(Insert that gif of laughing cowboy dude)

[gibbinator]

I drank normally until my period was late, after that I had a few sips, or a small glass until the positive test.

[dcn]

I got a positive test on a Thursday and had a book club gtg for brunch at the yummiest brewery on Saturday. I had a beer and savored every sip.

If you haven't even missed a period yet? Please. Have a drink and enjoy it!!!!

[jene]

Yes

[Susie]

Yes, definitely.

I can't think of a single rational reason not to (assuming you want to).

TTC is hard enough, I'm a big proponent of not changing anything you don't have to until you get 2 pink lines.  You can't live your life in "might be pregnant" mode; you'll make yourself crazy.

[kdubs923]

Took full advantage of a brewery on a Tuesday... Got my BFP with DS on the Thursday. Whateverrrrrr!

[nextbigthing]

Absolutely, no questions asked

Drink til it's pink

[winemaker06]

Tomorrow is CD 24 for me. We're having people over and I plan to drink ALL the wine. And make DH get up with the toddler on Sunday.
I think it's a fair trade since he gets a permanent DD for 8 months or more whenever I do get knocked up.

And it's not going to affect a potential baby. No way.

This is exactly what I was going to say.

I did. And if we ever decide to have another I will then too.

I voted drink til it's pink. Enjoy your Del's cocktail (we had a Del's cart outside of the church after our wedding). Have you had the Del's/Narragansett shandy? I'm not a huge fan of Narragansett beer, but the shandy is great!

[estrellita]

Definitely. I drank a decent amount 2 days before I got my BFP. I probably wouldn't have gotten a positive test anyways that early.

I can't stand gansett, so I haven't considered the Shandy. I'll try it if I see it now, though!

Brand name! Be specific!

I'm team drink till its pink. I got a negative on cd 29, went out w friends on cd30, and got a faint positive on cd31 when super hungover.

[glitzy07]

Pretty sure I tried to finish off a second bottle of wine two days before I got my BFP with this current pregnancy...so, yes.

Disclaimer: The first sip kind of tastes like Lemon Pledge, but then after your second sip, it's a great summer/beach beer!

[TrudyCampbell]

Drink til it's pink.

I got a BFP around 9DPO with my second daughter, but I was accidentally hungover when I tested. She's awesome

[hbomdiggity]

Drink til it's pink.

TTC took us awhile. That would have been a lot of unnecessary abstaining.

It's Old 502 Winery's Bourbon Barrel Red. It's not expensive but isn't easy to find outside of KY. Since getting it involves having my tee-totaling sister drive to the winery and get me a case I'm hoarding it .

There is a really old winery in Augusta, KY that does the same thing but I've not tried it yet.

[mlvmd]

I found out I was pregnant with DS1 on my birthday. I bought a test, went to a birthday happy hour, then tested.
