I am in the first month of TTC and have, despite saying I wouldn't, had two large glasses of wine, even though I said I wouldn't. I realise that I am unlikely to concieve in month one anyway which, and yes this is my excuse, had to finish off the open bottle in the fridge.

Is anyone else as bad as me and do you care to join me....?

Thank you for posting! I agree wholeheartedly but also wonder, due to avid googling, if I am being a bit stupid. The majority of people I know started their families while in an alcoholic stupour but, and I realise how naff this sounds, wanted some reassurance (as also diabetic, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetes_mellitus_type_1) which may add a whole new dimension

I have a picture of me pissed up and dancing the night before I had a bfp and am having a glass now- like bump says ok in moderation

Hardandslezy and plupedantic I love you both! Grin

While I know all the facts / anecdotes I also don't want to put my life in the deep freeze while I TTC (I also think that would be counter-productive)

Yep! I intend to have a few vinos this weekend! If anything, it prevents me from early testing as I won't drink if when I get a BFP Grin

There's always Lent, to empty the days of alcohol....

supadupapupascupa · 08/03/2011 21:59

until implantation, baby doesn't get your nicotine/alcohol. i checked with DS when i panicked!

ShavingGodfreysPrivates · 08/03/2011 21:59

As long as you're not necking two large glasses every night then I don't really see the harm.

LivinInTheMoment · 08/03/2011 22:44

Still boozing here too!
Glad to see I'm not alone!!

plupedantic · 09/03/2011 09:43

There. Have started Lent with a bit of a hangover, and can't have coffee, as am giving that up, too!

Confused

Perhaps I ought to wear a hair shirt as well....

Hope you are all well today!

Having a glass of wine a night is suppose to improve your chances of getting pregnant. Not my words - I read it in a newspaper and this is what it says on the NHS website
"Moderate drinking is thought to improve chances of conception "

It's something to do wtih relaxing people i think and encourages more sex. So drink away ladies! Grin
