TTC, 2WW & drinking on honeymoon

[WaitingforDaffodils]

My partner and I are finally ready to TTC next month - hooray!!! Next month also happens to be when our wedding and honeymoon are. I'll be 6 DPO when on our honeymoon. Typically, I'd have a few glasses of wine or a cocktail each day while on holiday.

However, I'm now worried I shouldn't drink during the 2ww in the highly, highly unlikely event we conceive first time! At the same time, it's the only honeymoon I'll ever have (here's hoping ) and I'd like to enjoy it.

We've been waiting to TTC for a while now and as we're older - me 37, him 39 - I'm not keen on delaying for another month...

Should I abstain? Should I have a drink or two? Am I being wildly optimistic about my first TTC cycle (yes, obviously)?

Honestly, just drink.

I know there is a school of thought of not drinking in the TWW... but most people just carry on as normal. Think of all the people who fall pregnant accidentally.

Enjoy your honeymoon. Have a fabulous time!

Are you me waiting?!

In exactly the same position, and my 2 week honeymoon will coincide exactly with my 2 week wait!

A great distraction - but, like you, I'm wondering whether I should take it easy on drinking etc...

Hoping lots of knowledgeable people come along and say don't worry about it!!

Drink. Enjoy yourself. Honestly it makes absolutely fa difference to whether you'll conceive. I went on a hen weekend and 2 big nights out on my tww. DS is a strong healthy 2 yr old now.

The embryo gets all its nutrients for the yolk sac until about 6/8 weeks gestation. Do drinking at such an early stage, even if you are pregnant will do nothing.

This! Enjoy yourself & congratulations

Go for it. I had 3 Christmas nights out during my 2ww and it never occurred to me to not drink. And I do everything by the book normally!!

Drink. It’s your honeymoon

Drink. I wouldn't give it a second thought. There's a saying 'drink until it's pink'. Seriously, it's your honeymoon, and unless you are planning on shooting up heroin and necking neat spirits 24/7, you (and any potential baby) will be fine. Enjoy!

Thanks everyone! I'll eat, drink and be merry!

Iwouldbesuperb congratulations on your wedding and TCC. I'll be raising a glass to you!

You too Waiting!!
