ttc and sushi
worry wart pre ttcer needs some major calming..
went out for dinner with friends today.. one is a loud mouth ttcer.. while i was eating sushi, she made a passing comment saying how she stopped eating sushi for like 2 months now, because of mercury.. i almost choked...  should i just stop? anything to worry about??
i've been googling how long mercury stays in your system etc.. and come to think of it, i had sushi twice in the past two weeks..

Re: ttc and sushi
It's totally fine right now. Once you get your BFP is when you should stop.
People are crazy -- don't let them upset you (as if it's possible not to let them under your skin) if you can.  She can get off her high horse when she becomes a doctor.
I read somewhere you should only drink full-fat milk products when TTC. If I'd done that, I'd have been about 400 lbs before we got PG -- which would've been way worse for any developing baby!

Re: ttc and sushi
I went on a sushi rampage before we got our BFP so if so it was still in my system. . I agree with PP that once you get the BFP stop. . and if it make syou anxious stop in the 2WW but I def wouldnt worry about what you're doing right now!!!

Re: ttc and sushi
You can eat anything while TTC. Once you are preggers, then i would start being more conscious of it. I am nearly 7 mths preggo and still eat sushi (not the raw stuff).

I agree and  about the milk! I just had two glasses of wine last night!

Re: ttc and sushi
I agree with everyone else! You can eat or drink whatever you want while TTC. Just stop when you get a BFP!! I ate a ton of sushi and drank a lot right before I got my BFP! It was like my last hooray!!!

Hey, you're allowed. TTC can make anyone crazy.
Just so you know, different kinds of fish are more prone to have high levels of mercury. Big fish, like tuna and swordfish, are much more likely to contain mercury than small fish, like flounder or salmon. And fish is high in Omega-3 and DHA, which is good for a developing baby's brain. I avoid the raw stuff, but have eaten cooked sushi throughout my pregnancy.

Re: ttc and sushi
I was told by a dr that you can eat whatever you normally did while TTC and even up to 6 weeks when pregnant, but like the other girls said I would stop eating it once you get your BFP. Good luck!
