I dont generally drink however had a night out last friday and drank 7 double vodkas and coke wasnt drunk but obviously thats more units than I should of had If i where pregnant.

Didnt think nothing of it as dont appear to be ovulating or anything as the strips say.

Now been noticing getting a lot of low down stomach aches, bit like period pain but no where near as bad, quite tired but no more than usual.

This friday a friend came round and I had three vodkas and coke through the course of about 6 hours and felt sick!

Stomach ache is still there today almost as if my jeans are too tight kind of feeling.

DP passed reference to that I might be pg earlier today and as much as we TTC it never crossed my mind

IF i am, could I have done any damage?

Not this early on I don't think.

I realised I was pg with DD2 just after my 30th birthday...had been away for a weekend and got drunk 3 nights running, been in hot tub and also spent the day at Alton Towers going on all the rides. She is fine, MW reassured me that alcohol abuse would have to be sustained throughout pg to do lots of damage.

Fingers xd for BFP!

It won't be a problem. Even if you have a fertilised egg navigating along your tubes, it won't be joined up to your blood stream yet. Even in the early weeks after implantation, the baby is living from the yolk sac while the placenta grows.
It is sustained regular heavy drinking that is dangerous. A one off before you know you are pregnant is fine. You can't spend the whole of ttc behaving as if you are pregnant (well you can, but it will make the whole thing much more miserable than it needs to be)

Ah thanks ladies.

I may well not be but with the stomach ache I dont normally get aches/ feeling sick of a few drinks = can normally drink like a fish etc it may just be coincidence but I thought it would be just my look the first time ive drank in months and Id be pregnant!
