TTC when you have a party coming up?
Hi guys,
I really want to have another baby (first one is 2) and I'm 39 so I'm getting up there in age. Earlier this year I noticed my periods were lighter than normal and my OPK, CM and BBT readings were all out of whack. Fast forward to today, I have been using the OPK and checked my CM. Yesterday my OPK was negative and today it skipped "high" and went straight to "peak". Which means it's time to get busy. BUT, I have not had a girls night in a long time and I'm about to go on a trip to see some friends and enjoy a day off from my mom-duties. The girls night will involve some drinking and dancing and I'm so excited for it but ... I'm fertile now, which means if we get busy for a few days then by the time girls night rolls around I may or may not be pregnant. I really really want to have another baby but I also really really want to enjoy myself on my girls night trip. What would you all do?

Ask yourself some questions. Could a girls' night out without alcohol be fun? If you became pregnant would you be ok knowing that you had alcohol during that time or would you have regrets? Would skipping this cycle feel right just so you can enjoy the party and have some drinks without regrets? What's more important to you at this point in your life? Personally, I would enjoy myself at the party and skip the alcohol component. Knowing that I have a chance for pregnancy and that my body is in the best possible shape for implantation would make me most happy. But it's clearly your decision :)

Do it up! I wouldn't get fall-down-drunk, but I'd have a few drinks, go dancing, etc. It'd be early enough still that the alcohol (especially if you don't get drunk) shouldn't have any affect on baby. I got literally crawl-your-way-home drunk before I found out I was pregnant with my son, and you'll never meet a happier, smarter, baby. So go have girls night! If you do get pregnant, it'll be a loooooong time before you get another!

I would definitely have a few drinks. Even if you do get drunk it wont matter so early on. My doctor told me this when I found out I was pregnant with my son. I had been on a wild night out the week before I found out and I felt so guilty. The doc reassured me that lots of people do this and its fine. Enjoy your night I say. We are currently ttc number 2 and its taking longer than expected so I just enjoy my weekends and nights out when I get them that is. Good luck xx
