I just got back from a girls weekend, and I am probably 4 or 5 dpo. During a lapse of judgement I went into the hot tub late Friday night, and now I can't stop worrying.
I was just caught up in the moment of seeing a bunch of friends I don't see often and it completely slipped my mind. I have been so diligent for the last six months about avoiding anything dangerous and this one time I just forgot.
I am really hoping not to get a BFP this cycle because I know I am going to put myself through 9 months of guilt. Sorry for the pity post, I am just feeling awful right now.
Re: Oops...
At 4-5dpo you haven't even implanted yet, even if you do end up pregnant. I'm pretty sure a hot tub won't harm a baby that doesn't exist yet. Chill out, you're fine.
Yeah, I have been searching for research for the last 30 minutes, and I can't find anything specific about dangers after conception but before implantation. It does seem like the worse effects are with hot tub use in early pregnancy though. I know it's WAY early to worry about this, especially since it's been 6 months and I still haven't had a BFP, but I still feel awful about it!
You're not pg until you are pg. 4or 5 dpo is NOT PG, so your trip to the hot tub did not affect your phantom possible pg.
Make sense?
Trying not to! Thanks.
I took crazy hot baths and even went in hot tubs when I wa pregnant with DD, she is fine.
Exactly
