How right are EPT tests???

Re: How right are EPT tests???

  • Congrats and best of luck to you.

    So, SO much happens in the very earliest stages of pregnancy. Cells that will become vital organs are there and have been there multiplying faster than you know since conception. Did you get your baby drunk? No.... But if getting trashed and creating a less than optimal environment for cell division and development is a risk you were willing to take while TTC then that is your choice. Just like it's a parent's choice to do drugs while pregnant. I've cared for plenty of crack babies who've turned out okay considering, so I guess getting shwasted shouldn't be any big deal, right?
  • Congrats!!!!

    Ditto everyone else on the drinking. Seriously, don't worry. I drank a LOT of wine Christmas week. So far, everything is just fine. Drink til it's pink all the way.

    Way to kick a girl down! Geez. Ya I went out and drank too much. Do you know how many people say it can take up to a year to get pregnant? Yes we are TTC, but I didn't think I had to stop my regular life to do so. Now that I know I AM pregnant of course I will no longer and I will continue to eat better and take very good care of myself.. Girl, you need to learn when to keep your shit to yourself!!!

    Thanks other ladies for making me feel better and for the congratulations. :) I am going to be an awesome Mom and take very good care of myself throughout this pregnancy and afterwards.

    Just ignore Debby Downer over there....plenty of people have the same thing happen - they don't know they are pregnant and were drinking before they found out, some don't even know for like a month or two, so you are finding out super early and can start taking care of yourself. Truth be told, that entire 2 weeks before I found out was during holiday season, so I was drinking then too - mostly wine. So yea, just see your doctor and I'm sure it's fine.
  • Congrats!  Personally, if I knew I was pg, I wouldn't drink excessively.  PPs are right though, you are not sharing a bloodstream yet so it should be OK if you decide to do that.

    Wtf!?!? My eyes are rolling out of my head. Annoying. As. Fuck.

    I misunderstood and thought she was saying she was going to go out and drink THIS Sunday.  I think it's a terrible idea, but I was trying to be nice.

  • Don't express your concern and ask what people are thinking if you don't want to know. I don't get it, but everyone else seems to think it's great to get trashed when you are actively trying to become pregnant, so hey, the majority must be right!! Everyone here is super duper smart, too.

    As I said before, best of luck.

    Oh fuck off with yourself. Really.

    You can't say that. It's "Thanks for understanding" around these parts. 

    Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I'll be sure not to do it again.

    There are just so many things wrong with this thread. It's going from amusing to scary.

    Yeah, all those past tense verbs in her OP about the drinking were pretty hard to understand.

  • Just to clarify, I don't think anyone here was condoning drinking while you are pg, and obviously it is a personal choice whether or not you choose to drink while actively TTC, or even during the TWW, but to blast someone because they drank before they even knew they were pg and compare it to someone who smokes crack - that's just ridiculous. Which seems to be what MHwhatever her name is did.

    I actually did abstain from drinking for a few cycles while we were trying because I thought it would make a difference, but it just so happens that the month we were successful was during the holidays and yes, I was drinking. I wasn't even expecting to be successful that cycle, in fact, I had scheduled an appointment to move onto testing. Then surprise. I don't really feel guilty that I had been drinking - I stopped immediately when I found out and as a matter of fact, I can't even stomach the sight or smell of alcohol now. (or pretty much anything else)

    I think MH just likes trolling this forum based on other posts I've seen.
  • Congrats!

  • The fix is obvi. Step 1: Use opk. Step 2: Have sex. Step 3: Get trashed. Step 4: Take EPT test. I don't know why you guys are having such a hard time understanding how it works.
