4 days from FET & had my drink spiked!!

Post by Corinna »

Well, I think the title says it all. :cry:

Me & DH went out last night with some friends. I intended to have no more than 2 vodka & cokes as I've probably got my transfer on Thurs or Fri next week.

The friends that we were out with don't know that we are going thru tmt and kept asking me why I was being so boring and not drinking. Stupidly, I just told them that I'm not in the mood for drinking at the moment. In reflection, I now wish I'd told them the real reason.

I had my 2 vodkas and then went onto diet coke for the rest of the evening.

About 3 hours into the night I started to feel really drowsy and I knew that I was drunk. Without me realising, our "friends" has been pouring aftershot into my cokes when it was their turn to buy the drinks (if you don't know, aftershot is a potent liquor) and believe me, you CAN'T taste it in coke!!

Well, me & DH went home and I drank as much water as I could. I wasn't REALLY drunk, but I wasn't sober either. I woke up this morning with a bit of a hangover and have been in floods of tears all day. I'm absolutely distraught.. :cry: :cry:

Our "friends" rang this morning to see "how I was" (they thought the whole thing was very amusing) and DH went absolutely mental at them, shouting that we are having our precious embryos transferred in 4 days and they have jepordised our tmt with their stupidity. They now feel very guilty and I've had several text messages off them today apologising prefusely, but I'm not interested.. :evil:

I now have to decide whether to postpone my FET. The problem is, my clinic is having a major refurbishment at the moment and are closed for 3 months after this month. If I don't have my FET this month, it means waiting till January.

I don't know what to do. I really don't. I'm so upset and angry and I feel like screaming. I can't stop crying..

Please help me decide what to do. DH thinks we should have the transfer as planned and said that he doesn't think it will alter the outcome.

What do you think?? Please help..

Hey
I'm not a doctor, but I really don't think it can matter that much surely? The embies have yet to go back in and you've got 4 days to get the alcohol out of your system.

Just think of the amount of babies that are conceived on drunken nights out ( a v v v high % I bet!!).

Please don't get yourself too worried about it.

But I think your husband is quite right to give your friends a blasting. It really, really annoys me when I'm not drinking during treatment and my friends look at me as if I'm the devil and give me a hard time for it.

Good luck with your FET.

I suspect 4 days is plenty of time to clear the alcohol and byproducts from your system. Check with your MD.

Thanks for the replies guys. :)

I've calmed down a little bit now and we've decided to go ahead with the FET as planned.

I was just so worried that I'd compromised something somehow. :?

I was so pleased within everything until last night. I stopped smoking nearly 1 month ago too. I only smoked about 3 or 4 a day prior to that anyway but I REALLY wanted to go into this FET as healthy as possible and with no "what ifs".

I've gained about half a stone (7lbs) since quitting which has done my head in a bit, but such is life. I lost about 3 stone (42lbs) to get down to an acceptable weight for tmt so I'm a bit worried about my weight creeping up again though.

Anyway, eating healthily, being a healthy weight, no caffiene (& other rubbish) and no smoking. I was starting to feel pretty positive about this FET. Last night was like 1 step forward, 2 steps back!!

I've been drinking water like a crazy mad woman today though, so hopefully the alcohol will be leaving my system.

I'll let you know whether all this "healthy-ness" was worth it!! Thanks again everyone!!

hi Corinna!

You r right to be upset...however like the other ladies said...it will wash away and i have my freind conceive (after a long time of trying) while she was drunk! Don't worry...just stay relaxed and if its meant to happen it will happen against all odds!!!

About healthy eating...i am sure it is worth it! even if the attempt didn't work(God forbid)...then it would have been for you !!! I am sure you deserve it!!!

Take care and update us!!! GOOD LUCK!!!

Hi Corinna

I dont post on here much but I always read the posts. I just wanted to say, my DR gave me a glass of brandy and gingerale straight after my embryo transferr and I got pregnant with twins (they are 5 months now).

Best wishes for your transferr
