Advice please??

I’m really torn between what to do, tonight I’m fighting my anxiety and going with my hubby to a leaving do for someone at his work. I’m anxious I won’t know anyone but I wanted to do this for him, he said he’ll drive so I can have a couple of cocktails - great I thought that’ll help me relax.

But now my natural FET is this month, I’ve got my scan Monday to see if I I have a dominant follicle and all my precious cycles I wouldn’t touch alcohol for the months leading up to transfer.

Part of me thinks I didn’t drink before and I still haven’t been successful so 1 or 2 won’t hurt and the other part thinks is it really worth it just don’t have any. What would you do? 🤷‍♀️

I think it's personal choice, but I really don't think a couple of drinks can hurt. I had probably more than the allowed amount of wine 9 days before our EC and it didn't do any harm at all. I think it's nice to relax, the balance of alcohol vs anxiety will probably even the odds out. Whatever you decide, hope you have a nice time xxx

Do you know what...this is such a lottery and it won’t be cause you did or don’t have a few drinks...if the benefits of relaxing, having nice cocktails and a lovely night out with your hubby should far outweigh everything..life has to go on and with what you been through and about to go through I say have the cocktails and enjoy..much love xx

I had a few red wines before my last transfer about 2 days before it worked. The 2 times before didn't touch a drop I suffer from anxiety I think a few wines helped me relax. I would enjoy a few drinks as it may be the last time. I hope you have w lovely evening xx

Hope you have gone, drank the cocktails and had a blast!!! Think the stress and tension do more harm than the few cocktails xxxx
