Arrgh! 2 glasses of wine even though this is "the week!"

amalloy1 · October 2012

This is month 6 of really trying for baby#2 & I just can't be good anymore! Can any of you relate? I most likely ovulated on Saturday & so now we're in the waiting period, but i went to dinner with friends after work &had 2 glasses of wine even though I know I shouldn't have. I'm getting anxious feeling so restricted while waiting to find out if we have conceived.....

I can relate, my husband and our friends make the most delicious homemade beer (oh and an ice wine to die for), better then anything you can get in a store, my hubby made me a honey sage beer which is really good and I look at the bottles and sigh....

Its getting harder and harder to say no thanks don't feel like drinking - because we haven't told people we are trying...it's easier this way after 15 months of no luck - i can't imagine what it would be like constantly being asked or looked at for signs....so I have developed the fine art of the "tasting sip" so people don't think I am off my rocker for not even tasting! I bring it to my closed lips, then lick my lips, I can taste what ever delicacy someone made but I am not ingesting that much alcohol.

Besides the french drink all the time!

Well, I'm not much of a drinker, but I wouldn't think that a glass or two of wine or beer during the 2WW would be a deal-breaker. There's a saying on these boards, "Drink 'til it's pink". If it is part of your lifestyle to have wine with dinner, and it may take you months to concieve, that's a lot of restriction, and it would be really tough. My guess is that you're fine. Good luck in the 2WW. I'm right there with you!

I'm sure you're fine with two glasses of wine! Although I commend your restraint for abstaining during most of your 2ww. I'm headed to my first RE appt in a few days and I'm wondering if alcohol consumption will be on the chopping block. Boo.

Honey sage beer sounds so interesting and good! My brother and father have made homemade beer in the past: it's not easy! Your DH is a keeper!

Thanks for the responses! It reallly is so nice to be able to just put my thoughts out there without worrying DH, friends, or family & I appreciate the non-critical thoughts on this subject,. I do think we have too many restrictions on us that may actually cause more stress though & I can't help but think this world would not be able to keep on turning & reproducing as it does if the child bearers had to be perfect in every way, but I can't ignore all the successful conception guidelines that are out there for those of us who are TTC!!

Good luck to all who are in the 2ww stage!

Give yourself a break.

If you got a surprise BFP and told your Dr you drank wine with your sushi dinner after the brie and raw oyster appetizer before you knew it. He/She would say not to worry.

I have been living my life like I was pregnant for the last 2 years (half the time I was pg but that is beside the point). I just can't deny myself the little pleasures anymore.

So, until see some sure fire signals in my temps or actually get a BFP, I don't worry about having a glass of wine.
