TTC over Xmas

[jemimahpuddleduck]

First month TTC this month . To start off with we are just going to dtd eod once AF has stopped by the wkend.

I think we would have to be very lucky to fall cycle 1 although I know it's possible so was thinking that I would have Xmas as normal which tends to be a couple of drinks here and there (not a heavy drinker anyway) may eat a few too many quality street but on the whole a healthy eater.

What would you do? Not drink at all or in moderation like I'm thinking? testing date is Jan 6th?

Well I think the question you'd have to ask yourself is how you'd feel if you get a bfp on 6 Jan and you know you've had x amount of drinks. If you might then be worried about the effects any alcohol might have had on your baby then you know the answer - don't have any!! I think if I was actively trying I would'nt drink, although I have had alcohol during accidental pregnancy when I didn't know I was IYSWIM!

Based on my experience, I'd say wait until your next cycle! We started TTC at Christmas and had a difficult time. It meant as each Christmas rolled round it was a rather sad event! If I had my time again I'd have a cracking Christmas - like rufusnine says, have a few drinks without worrying about it!, eat some pâté, let your hair down and then start TTC when you are being your normal healthy self!

Oh ps not saying you will have infertility problems!
