A Small Glass of Red Wine - is it ok???

Hi Ladies. Right I'm having a shocker of a day, either on the verge of tears or balling my eyes out. DH is due home very shortly. I'm 4 days away from my final blood test after an IUI. Can I have a small glass of red wine tonight just to take the edge off??? I think it's ok but if you tell me it's a shocking idea then I'll just pop the cork and sniff it!!! ;)

It would probably be ok but why risk it.

go buy some chocolate instead.

Baby2Bee: Sorry darls, when you have an embryo transfer with IVF, the "new" protocol is NO alcohol whilst "pregnant until proven otherwise", and NO alchohol throughout the preg, it used to be a wine or two every now and again is fine, they have now changed their guidelines..to no drinking at all !!

Try and go for a walk or have a soak in the tub, or watch a girlie movie and "ball your eyes out", we know how stressfull it is, and beleive me, after you have that wine, you will think "what did I do that for"

Thanks for helping me with the decision! looks like i'll be hitting my fruit and nut chocolate instead!!!!!

The bub doesn't share Mum's blood supply until 2 weeks after conception. It takes them this long to implant and make blood vessels into mum's supply. drinking during the first 2 weeks will not enter bub.

Thanks everyone! By the time DH arrived home, cooked dinner, watered garden etc etc etc etc etc i had cooled down so I didn't need it or have it! Thank you!!

B2B - well done you for not giving in. It can be hard at times - I'm an ex-smoker and I know what it can be like when all you want to do is have a drink or a smoke and you know that you can't. It's tough, but you did the best thing for your bub. If you can tough it out now, you'll be able to tough it out for 9 months. If I need to cry - I just do. I did last night actually - howling the walls down for no good reason other than it was so hot and I was exhausted. Felt better after....good luck with your BT.
