When in the 2WW.........
Do you live your life as normal or do you curb certain things (i.e. alchol, aspirin, caffeine) until you get either a BFN or BFP?
We are going to a German Tasting on Saturday and it's a 6 course meal paired with German beers. I'm thinking that I'll taste each one and then pass on the rest to DH and say that I am the designated driver...........

Re: When in the 2WW.........
From what i understand doctors say to live your life as usual until you get your BFP. the baby does not share your blood until the 5th or 6th week anyway so even if you have a drink or two or eight  you should be fine.
What DPO are you?

Re: When in the 2WW.........
I haven't been, but lately I have been thinking about all of the coffee I am consuming. I am just so tired in the mornings that I NEED it! 
In the afternoon I get decaf if I get it at all.
ETA: I haven't really needed to cut out alcohol as I don't really drink that much. We are having a party on Sat night though so I'm not sure yet if I will have a beer or not...

There's so much "stuff" to think about when TTC it's overwhelming sometimes! I know you just want to be sure you're doing the right thing! If you're comfortable with having a lager or two, then go for it. If you'd rather not, then don't. You know what's the best for you. Either way, have a great time!!

I totally hear you on the coffee! i need mine in the morning as well. my doc said one to two cups of a caffienated beverage a day is just fine. Check with yours and see what they say...I'm sure it'll be okay as long as you aren't downing a vat of espresso. Besides a caffiene withdrawal will probably be worse on your body!

Re: When in the 2WW.........
I did nothing different in the 2WW. I drank a glass of wine here and there. I also had sushi the day before I got my first faint BFP. You should enjoy yourself in the 2WW. I don't think alcohol would have any effect on the baby during the 2WW.

Re: When in the 2WW.........
Live your life like you normally would. You never know how long you might be TTC, and to stop doing things you enjoy every two weeks would be a real downer.
There are lots of women out there who have NO IDEA they are pregnant. They may not realize until they are 8 or more weeks into the pregnancy (having missied 2 periods)They drink coffee and soda, they consume alcohol, they may even smoke or take drugs. And their babies come out just fine. I am not saying that once you get a BFP you should do harmful things, but that during the 2ww it is fine. The embryo isn't even implanted in the uterus until a week or so into the 2ww.

Re: When in the 2WW.........
The day before I got by BFP DH and I had gone out to dinner and shared 2 pitchers of Sangria!  Next day I got my BFP!
Live life as normal and try not to think about it. Clearly easier said then done!

Re: When in the 2WW.........
The week before I got my BFP I was in the Dominican Republic and I drank a decent amount. I told my doctor and he just smiled and said not to worry that we don't even share the same blood at that point. Go out and enjoy!

Re: When in the 2WW.........
I was PG and didn't know it and was drinking away at a Holiday party. I don't think it will have an effect on the baby right away. As soon as you find out you PG then change your habits (drinking, and eating) Smoking on the other hand I think you should try quitting ahead of time.
