I have put my life on hold for three years, had 8 losses 1 ectopic tonight I’m meeting with the girls I’ve tried this month to get pregnant, if I dilute my drinks will it be ok ? I’m sick of being questioned why I’m not drinking when people know my situation, please don’t judge just want to let my hair down a little for once xx

I don't think one drink can hurt. Plenty of people get pregnant without knowing it and drink before they find out and go on to have perfectly healthy pregnancies. There has even been a news article over the last few days about the evidence being less than first thought. You deserve to let your hair down and relax for once. Enjoy yourself!

This is a bloody tough journey so you have that drink! If I get a bfn this cycle the first thing I will do is have a bloody big glass of wine

You will be fine, we're all super cautious on here but think about the amount of people who get pregnant by accident because they've had too much to drink 😜

One or two will be fine, it might do you good to relax and take your mind off things

I'd say go out and enjoy yourself, enjoy a drink or 2. This is a tough enough journey and we all do everything we can to give ourselves the best chances but sometimes we need a break for a night x

Have some fun! Plenty of people go out and don't know they're pregnant and have a few drinks xx

My advice would be go out and have yourself a drink. Then have another. Then another. And then another and so on!! I drank in between all of my cycles as I had to let my hair down. My husband and I always had a very busy social life and I refused to let this god damn infertility take over my life. I currently have a 2 year old from a FET and am also got a BFP on 20th Sept from another FET so cocktails never hurt me. We put our lives on hold so much for all of these treatments we need to sometimes just need to go and enjoy ourselves. I hope you enjoy your night. Sending lots of love 💕💕

Thanks all it’s a bloody tough journey 💜💜

go out and enjoy yourself. Life is happening now and no it doesn't start when you have a new baby so never put things off until a particular event happens as you don't know when you wont be able to do things. Good luck.

I can relate so much to you honey... I really feel so bad for you. I wish there was something I could do to help. When you have a disease that controls your life, your actions. It's really hard to cope with that. i know because I have been through just that a month or so ago. Try to handle this while being calm though. It won't help you at all to go batshit crazy now... I mean you have waited this long, why not a few more weeks? Now the thing is that one drink won't hurt you. No matter in which state your body is one drink won't do much damage. Definitely go for one or two drinks... Just don't overdo it, that would be bad. Try something that has a lower level of alcohol or that is less unhealthy. Maybe go with a cocktail or something. That's my favorite drink by the way.
