** Need advice on drinking tonight! **

Ok, So my sister is having a big party tonight. Everyone will be drinking. I would like to have a cocktail but just don't know if it is a good idea. Our bding was really off so I'm not even sure if we could have gotten pregnant this month but...what if?
I am 9dpo and am expecting AF around 8/9. I did have some AF like cramping last night. Please let me know if you think it is ok to have a drink or two or if I should sip the Oj and pretend.
thanks in advance!!

I think that if you have one or two and all night and space them out you should be all right. I am going to a wedding next weekeend with a whole bunch of people from work. I don't want anyone from work to know that I am trying so I am just going to nurse a drink or two all night. I think that as long as you are not feeling the effcts of the alchol you should be okay.
My friends doctor told her not to worry about drinking before you know that you are pregnant.
It is what you are comfortable with though.
Good luck and have fun

I’m on the skip it side of the fence. It’s not worth the trouble that could come of it.

If I were in your shoes, I would stay clear of any alcohol and/or caffeine. I like to play it safe!.. I mean really.. this is your baby you are talking about! Maybe you're not pregnant, but maybe you are.. you just can't be positive at this point... and how would you feel if you had a few drinks and found out later you actually are PG... would you feel guilty or worry about it then? It's not worth it. You yourself said you didn't know if you should, and said you had light cramping last night... That in itself should give you your answer.
Do the people at the party know you are TTC? If so, I'd just let them know that you are trying, and just want to give your baby and body the best possible start you can. I think people understand and will respect you for it. Besides, you surely don't need alcohol to have a great time with friends and loved ones.
I was reading "What to Expect when..." a few days ago, and I really liked the response they gave to tell others when offered a drink. just say "Thanks so much, but my baby's underage and shouldn't drink yet"
Hope you have a great time at the party, and let us know how everything turns out. Will cross my fingers for a BFP for you this month!
