Ok girls after being very quiet on my own blog but avidly still reading everyone else's blogs i've decided to start blogging again. I guess i have been very nervous about this upcoming cylce. I just don't know how i will cope if it doesn't work. On the upside though i was at a party on saturday night and was suppose to be off the grog but once there decided what the heck it will be my last drink of bubbly till bubs arrives (fingers crossed my next cycle works). I had a champagne flute in one hand and the wine bucket with bubbly in it under the other arm (as there was no table). That night 3 people asked me was i pregnant.......i laughed i mean honestly would i be if i was drinking? Than it dawned on me some people take pregnancy for granted and keep drinking and smoking. Its the first time i've been able to laugh at this question in a long time with out feeling like a failure or that i was jinxing myself.

Hey Joanna
My sister in law smoked and drank through both her pregnancies. She also drank 4 red bull per day with the second one. It clearly stated on the can not to drink while PG. It made me so mad. Here I was not being able to get preggies, never smoked and don't drink. Where is the fairness in life. Even when she had the kids, they alway smelt of smoke. She didn't smoke in front of them but it must have rubbed off her. I never understood how she thought it was ok to smoke while PG but not when their born. Ummm think it was a bit late to get all moral.
I am starting to get nervous again about my cycle, but I think it's only because I am only days away from being PUPO!!
And it really is amazing how many people take pregnancy for granted.... But just remember it will be all the more special for us IF ladies :D And heck why not enjoy your last cycle by having a drink or 2!!!

Thats hilarious to think that people would think you would drink and be pregnant at same time....I as you and many other IFers would never risk this and cant believe some women would....and yes its always the way the ones who do all this have many babies like my cousin who has 4 kids and smoke, drank and took drugs with all of them...none of them are in her care as DOCS wont allow it but all her kids are physically fine just dont know mentally as they too get addicted to whatever you take..
but im with you to take down a drink or two when you can...I did that in May in Fiji prior to my cycle and had one of the best time of my life lol
