Right, despite the fact that science can't agree about whether it's okay to drink while TTC, and because I am now in the seventh cycle with no bun, I am seriously considering ruling out the booze altogether. Some people think that it cuts down your fertility, and if it turns out that DH and I are challenged in that area, then I'm willing to try anything to boost our chances.
The thing is, even though in previous cycles I have just cut down, all my friends leap down my throat if I refuse booze! Went to a house party a few months back, just had a glass of wine or two and then went onto soft drinks - knowing looks all around. Then a friend got the hump because she decided that I MUST be pregnant but was not telling her.
Q me having to go into the whole business with her, and feeling embarrassed and guilty.
Now I have TWO hen dos coming up in the next two weeks and wonder how the hell I am going to get away with not drinking, and fend of allegations of pregnancy. I don't want to talk about it to anyone, especially not in a group, on a big night out. The first, I guess I can just blend into the crowd and as long as I have a likely looking drink in my hand, no-one should notice.
The second hen is just me and one mate - What excuses can I give to be off the booze?
Any tips?
