We TTC for 8 months and there were many times where I wondered "should I drink?" while we were on vacation or at some special event. Basically, I didn't get drunk during the TWW but certainly consumed wine and beer in moderation. My husband is a doc and approved of the plan ; ) </p> <p>Good luck and happy new years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drinking-during-2ww#post-43748 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 17:21:17 +0000 kiddosc 43748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From what I understand you don't actually share a blood supply with the embryo at that point. I know different people have varying comfort levels, but I was in the "drink til it's pink" camp. I enjoyed a glass of wine with dinner each night until the day i got my positive test. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drinking-during-2ww#post-43743 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 17:14:28 +0000 heffalump 43743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I asked my ob what meds to stay away from during the 2 week wait and she said go on with normal life and take what I normally would. I'm sure that applies to alcohol too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drinking-during-2ww#post-43740 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 17:00:31 +0000 cvbee 43740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say enjoy the wine, but don't get drunk.<br /> If you end up not pregnant and missed out on the special event you will be more upset. It could be a nice memorable 'last glass'.<br /> But if you drink too much you might feel badly if you do end up positive. </p> <p>Happy New YEars. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drinking-during-2ww#post-43382 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 12:25:00 +0000 Mrs.VW 43382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you would be fine. I don't believe at 7-8 DPO that you're sharing that much of a blood supply with them anyway, if you were pregnant. They also say that red wine can help with implantation - just another reason to have a glass ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drinking-during-2ww#post-43371 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 12:19:08 +0000 cyneswith 43371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I'd been planning to share a bottle of red wine with my husband for New Year's (Sangue di Giuda - it's gorgeous stuff). But I'm having some mild cramping today (5DPO), which may be implantation (I'm not exactly excited, because I don't want to jinx it by BEING excited.) I'd only be having a cup at midnight on New Years (on a full stomach) and a cup the next day with dinner. What would you do?</p> <p>ETA: I'm one of those who has no problem with drinking some caffeine and drinking in the pre-implantation stage. Between implantation and a BFP, though, is kind of a gray area for me. </p>
