Hi all! Curious everyone’s plans for NYE this year in terms of drinking or not?

I expect to be 1DPO tomorrow, and I think I’ll have a few drinks, with lots of water. I also bought Hiyo drinks, I am wondering if they are okay to drink instead of alcohol the next few days (we have friends in town so lots of social plans). The only thing concerning about them is Passion Flower Extract which can cause uterine cramping so it’s not recommended to pregnant women. But given it would be pre-implantation I wonder…. Better or worse than alcohol? Sigh. Hate the anxiety - I want to enjoy life but not do anything to reduce our chances.

Anyways have a happy new year everyone! This thread has really made me feel less alone in 2025. 💕

  • At 1dpo, there is no reason you cannot drink. Until implantation you are not pregnant.

    I read it can decrease chances of implantation so that’s where I hesitate. But otherwise I agree and think a few with hydration will be ok!

  • I will be 3DPO tomorrow and this is our 4th month TTC. I also read that the less drinks the better for implantation but I want to have some drinks with my dinner. I also struggle with the internal conflict of I’ll do anything to get pregnant but I also want to enjoy life and have a few cocktails. My gut tells me to have 3 or 4 because I deserve to enjoy myself.

    Glad this internal conflict isn’t just me and my anxious brain!!

    its better to enjoy yourself with a couple of drinks than to stress about it, that i can guarantee!

  • 18 cycles, 12 this year, 14 cycles without drinking. I am letting go this time of the things that should be done n shouldn't. I'll be 6 DPO and honestly I'm going to enjoy the way I want. This journey has reduced my year into cycles and it pains to understand everything that's not working or working. So I have decided to get over the guilt of a drink or two n have my share of fun.

  • Drink until it’s pink girl. Live your life! Stressing about small things like this won’t help

  • Also will be 1DPO and planning to have a drink or two :)

  • The cycle I got pregnant I drank quite a bit as it was during summer time and I had work events and a wedding during the tww. Mmc in September, and have had cycles with no drinki n since which have all been unsuccessful. Your comfortability of course but the impact it has is negligible, according to me doctor.

  • I've been thinking about this all day! I am 1DPO and planning to have a glass or two of some organic red wine or an IPA. Intuitively, I feel it's fine for me so I'm sticking with that!

    parent

  • 6 dpo tomorrow and feeling the same 😭 will probably have 1-2 drinks max

    parent

    I think that’s a good plan! enjoy and happy new year!

  • I’ll be 3dpo tomorrow and also concerned about implantation. I think I’ll nurse a drink or 2 but not get wasted. It’ll be even harder on my birthday right after nye which will be 7dpo for me and we have dinner reservations with my friends and then a reservation at a club. Not sure what to do but I’m absolutely miserable around people who’ve been drinking when I’m completely sober. I’m not even a big drinker but it’s these special occasions with friends I struggle with

  • hey cycle twin! i’ll be 1-2 dpo tomorrow too. i’m gonna have a few drinks, bought a bottle of wine so that will be my limit. i’m not really interested in being written off though, i’m enjoying feeling good the day after a couple of drinks rather than hungover and gross. i’m gonna take some hydration sachets to put in water and eat plenty too. i would stress much, at this stage there’s nothing using your blood or body for sustenance so you’re safe 😊 have a fun night and try to forget all about the TWW! i know i sure plan to.

  • I was just thinking about this today as well. Im 8dpo tomorrow and think I’m just gonna hold off just in case!

    parent

  • I’m enjoying a bottle of wine. Not a big drinker to begin with and sick of putting my life on hold “just in case”

    parent

  • Just anecdotally, I usually don't drink during TWW and went 4 months without drinking at all - and didn't get pregnant. The cycle where I drank, travelled, walked a lot, was the one I did (ended in a chemical). I say enjoy your life until you know 🤷🏽‍♀️

  • I started bleeding dec 28th. So I will be drinking. To celebrate, and to cope
