Should I really be avoiding alcohol etc during this time?

Well it's up to you, I would advise against benders but perhaps complete abstention isn't necessary. You might be upduffed, and that is worth some consideration but drinking in moderation is probably alright. Now of course, I'm no medical expert, this is just my personal view. I don't drink anyway so that's a non-issue for me, but rare steak and caffeine are my equivalents and I am avoiding them with varying degrees of success.

Are you in your TWW at the moment? I'm almost at testing/af time and coming to the end of it, it hasn't been much fun.

Rhiannon - yeah I'm in my TWW now. AF due 3rd Feb. Went out for a friends birthday last night. Not a massive night but a few glasses of wine and a G&T. Hopefully that'll be ok. Apart from that only having the odd glass of wine. Came off pill in Sept but only really TTC this cycle. Finding it hard to DTD every other day for the whole month! If no BFP this month will have to increase efforts. Good luck to you.

Got my BFP this evening! Feeling a little overwhelmed and like I don't know anything... Aside from booking an appointment with the GP what should I do?

Take folic acid and prenatal vitamins, take good care of yourself, read up on the do's and don't's during pregnancy section of this website but mostly just go nuts and hug yourself, congrats! x
