2ww - do you drink drink or don't you?

[freshstart4us]

Just that really - do you abstain during the 2 week wait?

Nope but a) we've been TTC for over 18mths b) I hardly drink anyway

No, because the embryo is completely independent of you until the placenta forms, so at this stage virtually nothing that you can injest will do it any harm.

Ahh I didn't know that Six, very helpful!

I have cut down as I drink too much generally. I could easily demolish half a bottle of wine or more most evenings, now I only drink one or maybe two small glasses, or one or two beers and leave two clear nights in between, so only have alcohol every third day. Not ideal but the best I can do. And am drinking loads of water and eating healthily etc.

No. I was much stricter in the first few months of TTC. Now on cycle 6 and I don't really abstain at all, though I wouldn't go out and get drunk in the second half of my cycle...I don't get drunk regularly but does happen every 2 or 3 months or so and I make sure that those nights out are in the early part of my cycle.

I like to have a drink at weekends I am currently on the tww, I know to many people who when ttc stopped drinking took vitamins etc and it stressed them out way to much until they relaxed and carried on as normal did the stork pay a visit... so I am going to carry on and drink my wine at weekends until I get the visit to

Thanks for sharing ladies! I'm not a big drinker at all anyway, literally half a glass once or twice a week, but it's interesting to know others' perspectives so as to not feel guilty for that small indulgence. :)

Freshstart4us trust me enjoy the indulgences while you still can that's my take on it
