Clearly, this press release does not apply to those of you that are TTC. You know you're pregnant within the first two weeks, not after the first month.

This is where I wish we received more science from the article.  According to weird pregnancy timing, you are "one month pregnant" when it's been one month since your last period.  Which is about as early as most pregnant women would turn a test pink.  So, at the moment of BFP, you are pretty much one month pregnant.

Is that what the article is suggesting, or do they mean one month from implantation?  Who knows? 

I did find the study suggesting that women drinking 5 or more drinks a week are less likely to get pregnant than women drinking less than 5 drinks a week.  It doesn't track women who don't drink at all.  For anyone who is struggling with TTC, and who drinks a daily glass of wine, I respect whatever choice you make with your body.  I was a daily evening cocktail drinker until I saw this study last year, and then I stopped because I read this.

The moderate drinkers (5 or more drinks/week) are half as likely to get pregnant than the occasional drinkers.

They recognize that it needs more studies to be really conclusive, though.

For pregnancy related things it's always one month from your last period.  I think it''s because, for most women, they aren't tracking enough to know when ovulation and implantation should happen, but know their last period.  *shrug*
