clicky poll - your view on drinking?

SuzyQ2009 · November 2010

Ok here's the deal... AF was due Thursday, got a BFN on Friday, testing again Wed. or Thurs. if AF doesn't show but I'm worried I'll get another BFN. Obv I'm hoping for a BFP, but would like to know either way so that I can enjoy some drinks on Thanksgiving if I'm not KU.

What would would you do in the same situation (I'm sure some other girls must be in the boat!)

[Poll]

Strangely enough I am in the EXACT same boat! Due Thursday and 4 BFNsI probably won't drink if AF isn't here by the holiday just to be safe, or maybe it is wishful thinking! Good luck to you!

GL to you too! baby dust (or AF soon so we can have a cocktail!)

AF is due Wed- so I'll test then- just before Thanksgiving- If I dont have AF with a BFN i'll probably not drink just in case- but everyone at my inlaws watch all the ladies like HAWKS- im not kidding- its like a joke- like if you dont have a drink in your hand you must be preggers- What to do???

i'll have to lie and say im on antibiotics or something! geeeezzzz....

How do you know AF is due? According to your charting of CM, you're only possibly 7DPO. IMO, you're not even late. Either way, drink til it's pink.

That's what I was thinking.

Ladies, a reason to chart means you can drink without guilt. You're not late until you've seen ovulation happen with your temps and it's 14 days later.

oops! my chart isn't updated... last updated on wed. 11/17... so most likely 12 dpo as of today if I had to make an educated guess

I think my poll is misunderstood! I don't temp b/c I can't sleep knowing I have to wake up, I play mind games.

Not asking for a scientific answer about my O date or why AF is later than usual, just wondering who drinks after their O date and who doesn't. Hope that clarifies everything! Smile

Jelliebean1982 · November 2010

I drink until a pregnancy test tells me otherwise.

eesome · November 2010

Drink until it's pink! It won't hurt anything.

I get that your O date isn't the question, but you specifically said in your post that AF was due last week, and I don't think that's accurate. Most of us go with "drink til it's pink." You don't share blood with your embryo until about 6 weeks, so even if you were implanting right about now, you won't be hurting anything by having some drinks. It's a personal choice though. Some girls prefer to not take the chance. We can't tell you what you should do.

I voted SS

My dad is a "recovering alcoholic" going on about 2 years now...

Our family DOES NOT drink around him. No alcohol ever goes in that house. Maybe it'll be different a few more years from now... but right now all of us are holding our breath and hoping the not drinking thing sticks.

They were just trying to explain to you why it is OK for you to drink this week. I think YOU misunderstood THEM. Hope that clarifies everything.

Happy for your Dad... my family doesn't drink at family parties for a similiar reason. My in-laws are a different story - it's not a party w/out lots of alcohol! If you don't have a drink in your hand, you must be pg (according to my MIL)

TanyaKM · November 2010

I don't drink during the 2WW, but I more than make up for it during the other weeks of the month

karaknr · November 2010

SS: I would totally drink, but I'll be with the inlaws and they dont drink:*(

i'll have to lie and say im on antibiotics or something! geeeezzzz....

My SIL would drink club soda and lime or coke and lime on the rox when she was KU and wasnt ready for the questions. Everyone thought there was liqour in it so no questions asked. Or just hold a glass of wine and let your H sip on it for you.

This. I'm not changing my routines until I know for sure.

jb2rn · November 2010

sure! probably one or two glasses of wine. although I may test on thanksgiving, I am undecided. depends on temps

cozylittlecave · November 2010

I'll be in the 2ww, but not that close to testing. After having an ectopic/missed mc, I'm no gonna be drinking. If something were to happen again, I'd always wonder & am just more paranoid now. Plus- I've never been much of a drinker to begin with.

That said, I'd think it was completely ok for someone in your situation to have a drink (but I'd probably limit it).
