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!!

Thanks for the advice everyone. I really appreciate it all. The party was a blast. I ended up having two very small glass of punch my sister made that had champagne, OJ, ginger ale in it. I really nursed them and when those were done I filled up on OJ.

The only reason I really thought about drinking was because our friends don't know we are trying and I want to keep it that way. If they saw that I wasn't drinking at a party they would know instantly something was up. So far I have been able to fake it as I usually drink screwdrivers and have just ordered oj very discreetly when out. Everyone asks us when we are going to have kids as it is so I just don't want them to know so i can avoid "are you pregnant yet?!". It's really not all that trouble and to me it is worth not having to deal with the pressure from others.

Thanks again! I hope everyone had a great weekend.

I wouldn't worry about it. After all think of all those women who are pregnant and don't know it yet and have a drink or two. You can't go every month thinking what if....I mean I wouldn't go overboard but enjoy yourself!
