Had a couple of drinks before FET

I have come away for a big family celebration and ended up having a couple of glasses of prosecco ahead of my FET on Tuesday. Please can anyone reassure me that I’m not a total idiot or being reckless?! I have been so good this time round and I’m feeling really guilty for letting it slip. Plus eating copious amounts of crisps 🫣. I know this probably seems like the most stupid post but you know when you just get in your head a little?! That’s where I am right now 😩.

I suppose that’s what this forum is for! Thanks all 💫 as always xxx

A couple of glasses of wine will make zero difference. It's a frozen transfer so your embryos are already created. Please don't worry xx

my only successful rond which was in April 2018 in much 2018 just about a week before my transfer we went on a holiday in Austra on a mountain top with lots of snow actually ski holiday but I did not ski because I don’t know how to ski I only went for the party it was party after party and I drank and eat a lot of health and unhealthy food why I was on my medication for my frozen transfer which was my 6th transfer guess what? It worked and my beautiful daughter is 5 years old I was very relaxed and happy on that trip I did not think or worry about my transfer so I don’t think you drinking before your transfer will have a negative effect on your transfer. Good luck I hope you get your happy ending

Don’t even think about it. I had a family party the night before a transfer…. Clinic said one glass of bubbly would be fine and just to drink water. Made no difference x

ah you’re fine enjoying yourself a little is a good thing!! I had the best few weeks enjoying myself before finding out I was actually pregnant the whole time! (Naturally after being told I had 1% chance of natural conception!)

Hi morning, I'm on my 5th cycle I've done the healthiest things on 3 of them cut everything out it didn't make any difference, they didnt work, the 4th cycle had some wine, I did feel guilty and beat myself up a bit, but then this cycle before my FET had some red wine before transfer I'm on day 10 of 2ww I've got to a point I'm not putting my life on hold again for something that may or may not work, one day wont make a difference you've had one day with prosecco but looks at all the other good days be kind to yourself, wish you everything on your journey ❤️

I had a glass of rose wine with lemonade 5 days AFTER my FET that brought us our perfect little boy! After being completely t-total every other try that didn’t work! Defo isn’t an issue before as it is a frozen transfer so embryo already made and you only had a few! Placenta doesn’t kick in until around 8 weeks pregnant so nothing is passed to baby either 🤗 all good relax and good luck! Xx

I was drinking at a gig when I was 4wks pregnant because I had no idea! No harm done! Taking time to enjoy yourself during these stressful times is just as important ! X
