Congratulations to all of you in this group!
I need some counseling this morning!! We have been trying to conceive #2 for a while & we were not able to start drugs/IUI until May because I needed a rest cycle due to hyperstimulaion of my ovaries. SO....the past few weeks I've been living it up, so to speak. Each of the last 3 weeks I've had alcohol at least 3 nights a week & last weekend we were on a mini family vacation in Wisconsin where I had alcohol Thurs-Sunday. AF was due yesterday & I took a pregnancy test this morning just because I had one, & it's POSITIVE!! OMG I'm SO excited & SO upset at the same time that I've had more alcohol than usual since the conception day 2 weeks ago. I just need to vent about it---it's frustrating because while we've been TTC with the fertility drugs & procedures I've been sticking to the guidelines re: caffeine & alcohol. I just hope I haven't caused major damage...it's so unsettling. Any comments/criticisms you have for me are welcome.
Re: Advice, Please.BFP (over 35) when we thought we were out this month.
When we were trying, my RE told us that alcohol is fine until you get a positive test result. If you are two weeks from conception then, you should be just fine. I have also heard that the baby does not share your blood supply for the first six weeks.
Congratulations!

I would call your RE ASAP and maybe talk to him a progesterone, just to be proactive.
Thank you SO much for your comments. I am in tears because I'm so happy but so mad at myself too, although realistically I know many babies are conceived this way! My husband actually joked this morning that I wouldn't be pregnant if it wasn't for the wine I drank on the conception night!!
Thanks again! I really appreciate the support, & anonymity of this site!!
Not to make me sound like a lush (I swear Im not!! lol) a week before I found out I was preggo with DS, my DH and I split an entire bottle of Jaggermeister and some beer....I was the third most drunk I had ever been in my life.
DS is just fine :-)
And with my DD, I found out right after holloween I was pregnant, but DH and I were partying like rockstars on Holloween, She is also just fine...
Congrats to you and H&H 9 months!

As a lot of people have said, I think you're fine. My DH and I weren't TTC, but I was late and decided to take a test on a Sunday just to play it safe ... BAM positive. I went to the doctor on Monday to confirm and yup - 5 weeks pregnant! I knew the nurse very well and when she asked "do you have any questions?", I said "yes, I was playing 21 cup beer pong on Friday and then drank at the lake all day Saturday ... is the baby going to be ok?". She chuckled and said "yes, but don't do it anymore". I was terrified thinking about it, but knew it was ok and DS is here and healthy!!!!
Congratulations to you - so exciting!!!
