I went to a hen night last Saturday. I am normally T Total but I will admit I got a bit drunk. Had a fair few. Was in the 2ww then, too.

Don't worry about a one off. When the BFP arrives it will be bye bye drinkie poos so, enjoy the odd night while it lasts.

i am not much of a drinker, but if i am still TTC (which i am haha) i try not to cut out things from my life. I HAVE denied drinks before at parties, thinking in the back of my head "what if" but now if i am offered any at a party i'll just have one or two, socially. I don't really think it would harm baby, and heck i wouldn't even know in TWW if we've caught the egg or not... but i don't think a couple drinks while TTC would spoil any chances. There are many women out there who continue to drink regularly and not even know they conceived and they go through to have healthy baby bundles.

during the 2ww, the cells are multiplying while the egg is traveling down the fallopian tubes to the uterus. then it attaches to the uterus wall in the blood that is there, and nestles in. so like mentioned before, your blood (and therefore alcohol in it) wont reach the baby til well after that point. i think you are fine to have a glass.

you know when our parents had us, it was absolutely fine to have a glass of wine a day during pg....and here we all are, just fine! i DO NOT however, condone drinknig with ttc or during pg, im just saying, you should not worry if you need to have a glass!! especially not yet....

overall, i think that drinking while ttc and during pg should absolutely be avoided, as it can affect fertility (none of us want that!) and increases the risk of miscarriage, premies, and still births. all which are wore than not being able to conceive in the first place, in my opinion. have your dh join you in the dry season, as its also bad for him and his little spermies.

wish you all the luck, and if you shall need that glass of wine, i say go for it. just keep it at one
