Bad Buzz?

Nothing new to really report. Just waiting for my u/s on Saturday....

Last night, my aunt and uncle were in town, so my parents came into the city and we all went out for dinner. DH was working (of course) and couldn’t come, but it was fun nonetheless.

I was really looking forward to having a few drinks and relaxing. TTC is on my mind all the time, so it was nice to just have a nice buzz, enjoy some good food, and not think too much about anything.

I go back and forth on drinking while TTC. The honest truth is, I don’t drink very often (probably about once or twice a month) and I never drink during the 2ww or on the days I take Clomid. On top of that, the ob-gyn has told me I should live life normally (re: alcohol, caffeine) until I find out I am pregnant (hah! whenever that may be). On the other hand, should I be extra careful to give my body every edge? The guilt I am feeling is really ridiculous, according to every medical recommendation.

My mother did comment many times last night at dinner, “You’re drinking champagne. I guess you’re not pregnant.” Her incessant commenting and questions about pregnancy and when we are going to start trying could be put to rest if I just told her that I was seeing an RE. I can’t do it though. As bad as it is now, it would be worse if I told her… She would want to come to every u/s, would ask about every twinge and symptom, would debate every protocol, etc. It would be endless.

Anyway, I’m about to start a 4 day weekend, and the weather is slated to be divine. Everyone have a great Labor Day!
