Will one night of partying ruin everything?

[Hobbermittens]

Stupid DH has a friend in town for one night. Whenever this guy is in town, DH goes out partying with him. I couldn't talk him out of it, and asking DH to "just have a few" when he's out with this guy is like asking a dog not to bark.

How bad is one night of excessive drinking for DH's sperm count?

Anyway, I feel like I am being told by some higher power not to TTC this cycle! Every time I think I have ironed out one kink, another thing happens. I am getting SO FRUSTRATED!:hair::mad:

I honestly do not think one night will do any harm, as long as it is just one night. xxxx Can understand your upset though because I would be too LOL

I personally don't think it will ruin anything, he doesn't normally drink like that so once in a while isn't a problem. I do understand how you feel about trying this month, I was meant to start trying from May and I keep chickening out because of some excuse. My husband has just had enough of me saying I'll always have an excuse every month so I told him most likely will just go for it at the end of the month. Good Luck

I agree with girls, one night probably won't do any harm + this cycle he will be releasing older sperm. If you are worried about number and motility, boost him with some extra Co-Q 10 and l-carnitine.

I think one night will be fine and it's not worth upsetting yourself or DH over. IMO if you're working hard on you just go w/ DH as much as he is willing. Then don't stress. There have been a lot of successful sways without the DH doing anything. Just make him boy meals and focus on you :)

ITA with all of these replies....just let him go have fun and don't worry about it.

Thanks ladies! He did drink a bit, but actually came home early and wasn't absolutely wasted, so I call that a WIN!

Aww he must have had the sway in mind!!

Well, I think it was more that he had to work today.... but we can give him the benefit of the doubt!

[TTC5]

Oh hahaha!! Oh well either way he was a good boy and did as he was asked, lol

Well, we ended up not going for it last night. :( I wasn't sure of the timing this week, but in hindsight, we should have done it on CD9 I guess. I just thought that was going to be too early, and I wanted DH to have a good 3 day abstain. So we had planned to DTD last night (CD11), and I started to panic and get cold feet. When I talked to DH about it, we ended up getting into a fight (my indecisiveness makes him NUTS) so after that, he refused to DTD at all. :( ANd by morning he was still annoyed, and now the kids are up and we can't do it. By tonight, it will be too close to O+12, so I guess we have to wait for next cycle. The good thing is I will still O in October, so all hope is not lost. :)

Oh bummer! I'm so sorry!!!

I was totally walking on eggshells with DH when we were TTC - living in terror that he would refuse to DTD!! :)

[Hobbermittens]

I know, it really sucks. I was in the right moon sign and everything! I should have pushed to DTD yesterday morning, because I really think it would have been good timing. But the kids were up, my son had a soccer game... I just kind of decided not to try. DH probably would have if I had pushed him byt maybe not no way to know now. Now I am beating myself up about it! I looked at the moon sign chart, and I am not sure I will O under a male sign next time. Would you attempt anyway?

I am such a wreck over this. I have really bad anxiety issues and a total "hind sight is 20/20" complex. I hate it!

[atomic sagebrush]

I would def attempt regardless of moon sign. I don't put any stock into it!

You're so right about hindsight - I think people have just as many regrets not trying as they do trying!!

You really don't believe in the moon sign? There's a whole thread on IG about it, and the success rate is pretty good--69%. I know it isn't 100%, and it is a small sample, but I would like it to line up, if for nothing else but my sanity's sake! Both my girls were conceived in girl signs, and my son may have been in a boy sign--not totally sure on that one though.

[gizmo77]

im not a HUGE believer in moon sign but im trying EVERYTHING you know? im soo scared dh and i will get in some fight during when we plan to ttc too. hope everyone is happy..its prob good too that you didnt bc you dont want to just jump and dump as they say. i plan to do a whol emake out session its supposed to raise sperm count...? good luck

One million percent, with all my being, do not believe in moon signs determining gender. I read the thread on IG and I think it's just luck that it came out as it did. Lest you think I'm just down on astrology, I actually kinda believe astrology could have some effect on personality, but not gender ratio. I've read quite a bit about it and I'm not dismissing it out of hand, it just doesn't add up with science.

I don't blame anyone for wanting to try stuff but at the same time, that was my attitude with supplements and my sway (even though I didn't really believe cal-mag swayed pink, I still took the cal/mag/vit D/B6 and ended up with Boy 4) and so I just worry when I see you guys consider risking stuff that has scientific support to try and match up with moon signs.:nails:
