Mellifluous May

Augh lola, I see it on all of them!! Hoping that they can get you in this week. I researched a bit about Femera vs. Clomid and it seems that Femera is the way to go... Fingers crossed, please keep us posted!

I can't believe I'm 4dpo either, so crazy!! Question for you ladies... This coming Friday is my best friend's 35th birthday and I planned many months ago on to take her out for a special day. We are going for mani/pedi, massages, dinner with friends, and then I got a hotel for several of us to stay overnight in the city and do a slumber party (what she wanted lol). My question is...I know that they'll be drinking all day and it will be too early for me to test and know for sure if I'm pregnant or not. How would you handle it? She knows we are ttc, but the other girls don't and I really don't want to share too much with them as I don't want it to get back to my mother in law and sister in law, who they are all connected to. Thoughts?

I wish I could be DD....we are going out in NYC and taking taxi's. No one drives in this crazy town!

Sorry Netti. I temped vaginally this cycle, previously only orally. I highly recommend it if you're going to be temping this coming cycle. Good luck hon!

Good point lol I have heard that! Is wine girl or boy sway I forget? I'm sure a glass or two wouldn't hurt but maybe if they all drink enough they just won't notice you haven't [emoji23]

@maximbella - according to LE diet drinking hard alcohol and white wine is more girl friendly than red wine which is higher in nutrients like potassium. That said, I drank red wine during the 2ww because it's easy and what I enjoy the most.
Also, when I was pg with DS2 I craved red wine so I researched it. All the studies of drinking while pregnant are referencing getting fully inebriated and involve hard alcohol. There are many studies that have been done specifically on the effects of red wine and positive brain development. That was enough for me and so I indulged in a half glass of red wine a couple times a week. Now I don't know if this contributed, but my DS2 is so smart and quick witted. So it obviously didn't hurt!
My advice is to drink something like red wine that is actually healthy and stick to a 2-3 glasses, switching between water and take your sweet time drinking it. I doubt anyone will notice. Good luck!

^^ that was the original idea but that was only a guess. We have subsequently found that things like calories, protein, and fat, and highly fortified foods like cereal, are the heavy hitters with swaying and things like a little extra difference in nutrients between red and white wine really don't matter. I keep it in the diet JIC but we have not found it to make a true difference and lots of people got girls drinking red wine.

4DPO is not supposed to be associated with causing issues because the baby is not implanted.

There are other things you can say, though. Sometimes people have to give up drinking because they find it causes them to have bad headaches and stomach upset (ME LOL) even just a drink or two makes me violently ill now. so I'd probably say you've found that drinking gives you a migraine or something like that.

@atomic that makes me feel even better about my sway then! Red wine was all I really drank when trying to conceive this time. Thank you!

Thank you both, so reassuring to hear that!! I've also been drinking red wine the entire time not thinking about the nutrients....so glad to hear that the difference between the two are nil.

This would be on Friday and I would be 8dpo...still okay to have a glass or two right?!
