Post Pill TTC Party

I was very careful with drinking the first six months of this year but it doesn't seem to have done much so I am relaxing a bit more now. Got properly drunk for the 1st time since december last month!(unintentional due to not eating enough & worst hangover I've ever had) Generally have between 1-3 glasses of wine of the weekend and that's it, so hope that doesn't have too much impact.

Reckon ov will be today or tmrw but decided not to do opks this month just so I don't panic about bding too much. Doing every other day this cycle, which suits us better than every day in a row for a week. Tmi but we always really enjoy it ha so I want to make sure it stays that way!

@Juno231 there is isn't there 🙈 I suppose part of me wants to take alcohol out of the equation and see what happens. Especially after having bleeding that I thought was implantation from 8dpo last month and then not being pregnant. I suppose it is for peace of mind

@AMS19 haha well spotted yes it'll probably be very quiet BD - if any at all! Wouldn't be surprised if this cycle is a write off.

@Trying4one I keep reading conflicting stuff though - in "it starts with the egg" I'm pretty sure it said it doesn't make a difference. I'm def one for taking the easy way out 😂

@AMS19 Ah, yes i know Its lovely in there, have a lovely time, i just love sitting by a pool and relaxing, you'll really enjoy it.

Its lovely there, lots of cocktail bars and restaurants, the water is usually lit up as well, not sure how its working now with Covid but plenty of places to choose from :) xx

@Flowerkm its just a holiday Inn, but looks nice enough. We are heading into Reading Town Centre for dinner and cocktails though which should be fun. It is nice by the water outside the Oracle! Xx

@AMS19 Ah Im actually from Reading! If its the one by me then its lovely, theres a few spas but there is one in particular that is just lush! Xx

@Flowerkm that's all we managed this year, a staycation!
Ah I'm actually heading your way next weekend for a spa weekend in Reading!!

@AMS19 Im in the UK, from Berkshire, down South :)
Its lovely thank you, having a staycation, only 45 mins away from home but after 2 canceled holidays we needed to just pack a suitcase and get away. Everyone seems to be following rules well so feels pretty relaxed 

@Juno231 glad the move went well and yes, quiet BD, that brings back memories...😂

@Trying4one luckily apart form one internal meeting the webcam was off. It was off for all the external ones thank god - or i might have got fired for poor company representation 😂😂

@Juno231 so quiet baby making for the next month then?! It will be like being naughty teenagers again! Are you guys moving far location wise?

@Flowerkm hows the trip?? Are you away in the UK or abroad (assuming you live in the UK of course)

@Lavinder I'm sat waiting for me. Patiently waiting. Actually not at all patiently 🤦‍♀️

Just read it can prevent proper implantation so that is enough to stay teetotal for me. I know loads of people still conceive when drinking but I think it is one less thing for me to worry about/blame myself for. Alcohol free wine for me this weekend then 😂😂😂

@Juno231 I still drink the 2 weeks between period and ovulation but didn't know if alcohol affects implantation or not 🤷 but then again I have no way of knowing whether the egg has fertilised or not 🙈 and therefore doesn't matter

and thank you for the well wishes girls! Although we moved out yesterday (finished at 9.30pm... I'm exhausted), we're not moving into our new house until the 30th this month so we're staying at FIL's flat in the meantime with BIL :)

@Trying4one I carry on as normal pretty much. Switch to decaf in the afternoons and try not to have boiling hot baths lol. But otherwise I carry on with life - considering I'm starting cycle 10 I don't think I would have wanted to restrict my life too much when it potentially takes a really long time to conceive.

@Trying4one Haha, yeah there are some substitutes that just don't taste the same!

@Flowerkm I am not mentally thinking I am pregnant but I worry about whether drinking will affect implementation. I am going to miss alcohol whilst pregnant. I don't drink to.get drunk, I just like the taste of a rhubarb gin and ginger ale 😂 no alcohol free substitute taste the same 😂😂

Been trying to catchup with everyone! Im away at the moment so not been on here much but been reading everyones comments 

@Lavinder I came off the combined pill and my cycles (touch wood) have been ok so far and managed to get peak OPKs but haven't done temping so can't 100% say Ive ovulated but had all the signs. Best of luck, let us know how you get on 

@AMS19 😂 love it! Glad you had a good night. I have plenty of stories that end up like that and they've always been the best nights but the worst hangovers! Hope work was ok 🙈
I had a few drinks last night too, making the most of quality time with the two of us...shame these 2 days aren't over my fertile window...🤣

@Trying4one I don't, but thats only so i don't get my hopes up but I probably would be cautious of certain things. I like to run/workout but I am careful in the TWW and take it slow just in case but it does play on my mind it affects the TWW.

@AMS19 oh no I feel for you. I get bad hangovers and can't function well. That's why I generally try not to drink in the week or stick to spirits as hangovers tend not to be as bad on spirits (only worked that one out a years ago) 🤣.back to back meetings is never fun but worse if hungover. Have you at least got the webcam off?

@Trying4one at 32 I really should know better! I think it was a mixture of knowing another lockdown is looming (i live in London which is on the watchlist) with thinking if I get pregnant quickly I've got 9 months of not drinking, that meant I took it way too far! Paying for it today, in back to back virtual meetings with work and I just want to curl up and sleep...

@Kay00 I drank during my last 2ww as I was on a mini holiday to Wales and also went on a gravity rollercoaster (my lovely husband shunted into the back of me at the end). I was about 10dpo and was having bleeding from 8pdowhich I thought was implantation bleeding. Part of me wonders if it was and going on the rollercoaster stopped the egg implanting. So going to be less reckless going forward. Though I wasn't know that my husband was going to go Into the back of me like a bumper car 🤦

@AMS19 sign of a good night clearly. my husband was like that on his 30th birthday a few years ago. He slept in the hallway so he could be closer to the loo to be sick. It was January so I had to go out a blanket in him. 🤣🤣 He swore he would never drink again. It didn't last long but he hasn't been sick from alcohol since 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Trying4one I didn't in my last cycle - I drank and ate naughty food but I didn't do anything to excess. But then... I didn't get pregnant, so I might try to be a little better behaved this time :)

@Trying4one I think I would try to. But would not beat myself up if I had a glass here or there. But I won't drink so much I make myself sick...🤦‍♀️

Here is a question for everyone. In the wait between ovulation and period, do you treat it as if you are pregnant and avoid things like drinking alcohol?

Hi ladies. Just catching up over the last two days. I went out last night and got so drunk I was sick in the night...seriously questioning when I'm ready for a baby 😂😂

@MintGreenLife it is great you have a follow up so soon! Keep us updated

@Tinkertailor88 welcome!!

My BBT charting so really odd. My temp went down and now it is back up but at the same level as before. I do wonder if there are impacts from the pill still in my body given its only been 3/4 weeks since i stopped it 🤷‍♀️ did anyone else BBT straight from the withdrawal bleed? I wonder if thr hormones are throwing it off...

I'm just sitting patiently hoping for my first AF working out theoretical due dates when I havent even started trying 😂😂 im losing the plot already!

@GlassLily Thanks for your message of reassurance :) I feel OK about it after the initial worry, at least Monday isn't too far away! x
