Hiding Pregnancy at Winery?

chalosa · October 2010

Hi!

DH and I were not actively TTC this cycle, but my like-clockwork period is nearly a week late and I am somewhere between 7 and 9DPO. I have an extremely short luteal phase, so I honestly didn't think we'd be able to conceive on our own and we were quite careless this month.

My concern is that we have plans with another couple tomorrow to several wineries. I plan on using a FRER tomorrow morning, but recognize that it may still be too early to tell. If it's negative, I will feel free to enjoy a few tastings but not go overboard.

However, if it's positive, I'm not sure what to do. If we were just going to dinner or hanging out, it would be easy to avoid drinking--but drinking is kind of the point of going to a winery. I thought about offering to drive and using that as an excuse, but the other couple has already volunteered. Even though it might look weird, I still might go that route.

Barring that excuse, does anyone have any ideas/suggestions for how to not drink without being obvious? We'd like to keep the news under wraps for a while, especially since my short luteal phase makes a m/c a very real possibility...

how are you a week late AND 7dpo? this makes no sense. Do you have an LP of zero?

My LP is 3 days, and I am between 4 and 6 days late. I'm not exactly sure when I ovulated, my chart and OPKs were conflicting (and FF moved my ovulation date at one point). So yes, I am nearly a week late and somewhere between 7 and 9DPO.

Either you have no idea what you are talking about, or you should get that checked.

Yeahhhhhh, I am going to need to see your chart

Drink til it's pink?

With that kind of LPD - you should be seeing a doctor if you want to get and stay pregnant.

Nah, just take a buttload of B6. Apaprently that will cure everyone's LPD.

Duh. Miracle cure - how could I miss that?

smiling76 · October 2010

Excuses I've used are: I had a migraine today and I know wine will make it come back, I'm on antibiotics and can't have alcohol. Both have worked well and I plan on using it tonight at an event where others will be drinking.

chalosa · October 2010

I am aware that a 3 day LP is extremely odd. My doctor has verified it. It's not something we were worried about just yet, as I said, we were not actively TTC.

I'm disheartened at the responses to my post--I'm not asking you for medical advice, that's why I have a doctor. A doctor who is aware of my current situation--I've already had b/w done that shows low levels of progesterone and will have more next week if still no + and no period.

Does anyone have ideas in response to my actual question? About hiding a pregnancy at a winery? Ways to skirt drinking wine with only one other couple (it would be easier for me in a larger group)?

Have you taken a pregnancy test? And, please link your chart.

Oh, and as for your question, say "I don't feel like drinking."

staycee · October 2010

no need to answer the actual question. If you REALLY have only a 3 day LP, you aren't pregnant. Drink up and enjoy your winery trip.

If she really only has a 3 day LP, she will likely never be pregnant.

but but but... she at 7 or 9dpo. She's Late! Or she's actually having a real normal LP for once.

eh, maybe not. Her cycle is "clockwork". Those NEVER change.

croberts22 · October 2010

LOL. As I was reading through the responses, I was starting to wonder why people were addressing this and not your question. I know I read too fast sometimes and jump over the obvious but people really?

And to answer your question...just tell them you are on meds.

You don't know if you are pregnant yet!!!!!

How about: just don't drink, you don't feel like it, you had a migraine yesterday and you don't want it to come back, you are driving.

There are a million effing reasons not to drink. Don't worry about it until you get a BFP.

This was my thought.

There is no way you'd be able to get pregnant if you only have a 3 day lp. And you and your dr. aren't concerned about it because you aren't ttc? I'd be concerned about it ttc or not. That is way outside the realm of normal.

um, I'd be finding a new doctor...STAT.

To answer your actual question, is it really that hard to think up an excuse????

augustjam16 · October 2010

See I personally wouldn't take a pregnancy test until after the winery trip. Then I could drink and enjoy and not have to lie all day about why I'm not drinking on a wine tour. Especially if I was barely late...I would intentionally not take the test until I was done drinking.

skio · October 2010

Um. This still doesn't make any sense. O + 3d LP + a week late = 10 days DPO. WTF.

My nice answer to your real question: Take a fecking test. It will be negative, and I say drink away. If you still don't want to drink, don't go. Say you were up all night with a stomach virus. Or say you're on Cipro for a UTI. You can't drink in Cipro, and no one will want to ask questions once you say UTI.

sleepingbeauty825 · October 2010

Just taste the wine as you normally would. Were you planning on getting completely trashed? If you have a little bit you aren't going to hurt anything.

heylee · October 2010

I would use the excuse of a migraine. I absolutely can't drink wine because it causes mine.

she said she was nearly a week late, then later clarified that she was between 4-6 days late, which I believe would make her between 7 and 9dpo.. like she said in her first post.

Yeah, well, I still think she's full of it. I want to see her chart.

DidYouJustCallMe*GirlyGirl*? · October 2010

Since your original question has already been answered, I just want to offer you some advice on getting those cycles normal. I had really long cycles (41 days typically) and a luteal phase on the shorter side (11 days). My husband and I had been trying for a year with no luck when I finally went to naturopath who specializes in fertility and she put me on Fertility Blend, saying it would take about three months to regulate my cycles - sure enough, month 3 and I just got a BFP! I would recommend naturopathy 100%, escpecially since your doctor doesn't seem to have a clue about the reproductive system. No offense meant to you, just seems like you've already wasted a lot of precious time with the wrong practitioner - time to move on! Smile

GL!

I am a non-flamer, but if you only have a 3 day LP then you are not PG. It takes at least 7-10 days for implantation to occur.

yeah, thats fine, maybe she doesn't know as much about charting, or TTC... in fact I thought she said she wasn't even TTC, so I would assume she wouldn't be charting? I don't know, when I conceived I wasn't trying, I just wasn't avoiding.

(maybe secretly she really wants to be pg, and didn't think it was going to be possible, and now that she could be she is excited.... just saying she probably doesn't deserve to be made to feel like a moron... )

Do some of these b!tches really have nothing better to do than post rude responses on someone else's post? The majority of you didn't even answer her question. I can't stand these know-it-all snots that try to put everyone down just because they don't like someone's question. If you can't be nice and offer someone some advice when they ask for it, then get the F off of here. Nobody comes on here looking for negativity but MAN, do you women know how to dish it out.

On a different note, I'd agree with the few people that actually anwered your question---say you are on antibiotics. I've done it and nobody ever asks questions.

Yes I can clearly read, I guess I just overlooked that part. Can you read, because you made a similar mistake before, and got all huffy how she couldn't be a week late.

Regardless, do you have to be rude? Did someone piss in your cheerios this morning, or do you just use the bump to be rude to women you don't know? I mean, if thats why you use the bump, then more power to you, but I have a feeling this is probably how you are through out your everyday life as well.

Oddly enough, the only posts I ever see from you are the ones pointing out how biitchy everyone else is. I think it is kind of rude to constantly point out the shortcomings of others, but whatever, I don't really care.

I don't really care, that was more of an amused observation. I can't say I have ever opened a post that you have started, but when I see you as a responder I can't say I have ever seen you contribute anything useful. Maybe I will have to work on my reading comprehension.
