Its cold outside!

and I need to head to my first follie check. I have the day off so at this time I'm just delaying going out in the cold. 4 days of stims down and I do "feel" something so I really hoping there is something to see this morning.

Friday's night holiday party was good, couldn't eat a thing! This is some diet let me tell you! Sat. I went for acupuncture, met a friend for lunch (I only ate mashed potatoes), got my hair cut and then headed to dh's company party. EVERYTHING served at dinner made me gage, esp. the crab soup. So sad b/c I love crab soup! And of course the guy sitting next to me too forever to eat his so I had to smell it and gage for a half hour. I did manage to not get quested for my lack of drinking...ginger ale and a cherry worked just fine for me. But then again the co-workers dh talks to the most are single/just dating girls and don't tune into such nonsense as other people I know.

So to drink or not to drink while cycling- Well my poor stomach made that decision for me. Between the terrible heart burn and now this I have ZERO desire to want a drink of anything. But I read questions from girls who ask if they can drink, how much, etc. Then you see someone respond to them who says "I drank during all three of my ivf cycles" Really??? I just seem to think mixing alcohol with all those meds can't be good! Maybe a glass of wine with a meal here and there but social drinking? I know no one wants questions as to why they are not drinking but you shouldn't let what your friends think effect your decision in this, its just too big! All I can say is I want a BABY more than a drink. I rather deal with questions as to why I'm not drinking than risk mixing alcohol with those meds. And how does anyone really know what effect alcohol has on your body's response to the meds? Everyone is different and every cycle is different, so you I don't think you can say- I didn't drink with ivf #1 and I drank with ivf#2 and both were bfn so alcohol didn't effect the out come. Sorry if this offends anyone and please don't think I'm a prude who never drank! Once upon a time I was a big time party girl...how do you think I met my husband? ok, off my soap box now:)
