Congrats Cloudy!!! All the best for a H&H 9 months!
DE IVF ER - 12/2/2016 (17R/10F = 8 frosties); FET 1.0 (1/27/2017) - BFP 6dp5dt (EDD 10/16/2017)
So happy for you cloudy.
When I was in nursing school I actually wrote a paper on drinking and smoking in pregnancy, and while most of you are right in that she doesn't yet share a bloodstream with the fetus this early the literature out there at that time basically supported the notion that one should become somewhat of a teetotaler when TTC. I specifically said she didn't get her baby drunk, but that she was creating a less than optimal environment for development. There's also evidence of higher rates of miscarriage when drinking in early pregnancy.
There are plenty of people out there who boozed it up not knowing they were pregnant and ended up with children who are fine. I just don't understand why someone would purposely risk it. She's been trying just a few months. What's done is done and I wish her all the best, I just don't think people should be coming here for advice regarding getting "trashed" (her word, not mine) in early pregnancy and having non-medical professionals tell her that it's a-okay. I believe the recommendation is still not to drink at all, if possible, while TTC.... And certainly not to get drunk. I could be old school though.
P.S. I bet you money that she'll downplay the "trashed" part when she speaks to her MD and then run back here to say her doc said it was completely fine. I see it allll the time.

TTC 19 months ~Started RE in March 2014~
DH was not ready for IUI so we waited
~Started acupuncture in May 2014~
~~BFP 7/6/14~~~EDD 3/14/15~~It's a girl!!~~
my read shelf:
Well, taking the test early is a matter of preference, and I realize that waiting to know is hard too, but I almost feel like it's better to wait partly for that reason. Again, that's just my preference. I sometimes wonder if some of the months that my H & I were trying maybe we were successful and just didn't know....a few of the months we were trying, I was a day late - I assumed it was late just because of stress, but I also felt like AF was coming, so I gave it an extra day and blamo AF arrived and those months when it happened, it was REALLY heavy. So who knows what could have been.
One of my very good friends it took her 4 losses before finally having success and my SIL has suffered from 4 losses now....so this is a lot more common than many people (except for the ones in this forum) think.
The good news for you though - at least you know that you can get pg. I know the loss is hard, but I'm sure it will happen for you again before you know it. Once again, I'm sorry for your loss
In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!
