Vent - Advice Requested

I got a call this morning that my grandma was found unresponsive and was rushed to the hospital; she is now being admitted for observation and it appears her liver might be failing. I'm totally anxiety ridden and emotional ... I got a similar call exactly 8 weeks ago for my grandpa who then passed away 4 days later. I am having an awful day at work (unrelated) and am just so on edge until I can get off work and go to the hospital. 

Needless to say I could use a drink tonight. I am usually team drink till its pink but since I am still waiting for my temps to confirm O I am worried that even just 1 will throw my temps off. Is this an unrealistic fear? If I have 1 drink a good 10-12 hours prior to having to temp do I even need to note it? I know FF is just a tool to help confirm ovulation and I know I don't need to be this meticulous but I would really like to confirm O so that I can relax and just enjoy the 2ww. 

My chart is in my siggy.  

Thank you in advance for your advice.

A large amount of stress can throw off ovulation. I say drink, try to relax as much as you can, and don't worry too much about the temp right now. I am very sorry to hear about your grandpa's passing and your grandma's admission to the hospital. I hope they can help her out. In the meantime, have that drink (or 2).

One drink shouldn't affect your chart.  I typically don't see a change in my chart if I have 1-2 drinks.  If I start feeling a good buzz, that's when I see the change in my chart.

I say have a drink or two, one artificially high temp is probably not going to throw your chart off.  FWIW I think you are 2 DPO, your temps CM and OPKs seem to line up, or at least what I can tell from your thumbnail.



TTC #1 since August 2011
September 2012: Start IF testing
DH: SA is good
Me: CD 3 blood work is good, HSG all clear, 7 DPO blood work shows low progesterone
October 2012: Clomid + IUI = BFN
December 2012: Consultation with RE#1. Not impressed with RE#1.
January 2013: Consultation with RE#2
January 2013: CF screening shows that I am a carrier of CF. Thankfully, DH's screening shows that he is not a carrier of CF. Sperm antibody tests are negative for both of us. According to our RE we are Unexplained IF
March 2013: Post coital tests show possible hostile CM. So, maybe not so unexplained?
April 2013: Unmedicated IUI after yet another bad bad PCT. = BFN
Cultures find a bacterial infection that could harm fertility, DH and I both start antibiotics.
May 2013: Clomid + Trigger + IUI

I vote that one or two drinks will do more to relax you than to throw off your chart.

Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.  So sorry you're having a sh*tty day.  I've found a few drinks doesn't throw off my temps ... but every person is different.  If you need to get some stress relief with a few drinks, I'd say do it.

Thank you, all! I will def have a drink and a donut for dessert (they're my fave and hubby already texted me asking if I want one ... he knows me too well). 

I agree that I might be 2DPO ... I put in fake temps for tomorrow and I do know if it dips below 98 then FF won't confirm O but any temp shift above 98 will give me my crosshairs. I am so crampy and my nipples are super tender so it's possible ... I just don't want to *f* myself by throwing them off and then come to find out I geared up to O and never did.   ... i'm overthinking it. I guess I just want to have some sort of control over something right now since I feel so vulnerable to the sh*t that happens in life.... **END VENT**

I'm so sorry you're going through this, I say have that drink, I don't think just a few will throw off your temps too much.

My grandma died suddenly last summer and then 3 weeks later my grandpa died as well.  They meant the world to me, so I'm so sorry you're in a similar situation.  T&P to you and your family.

I might have a problem. It takes like 5-6 drinks to see anything significant. I hope I don't need an intervention.

I'm sorry for the loss of your grandpa and your grandma's hospitalization.

A few drinks shouldn't affect your temps. My temps are pretty sensitive to alcohol but I still have to have at least a decent buzz to see any change. I also agree that it looks like you might have O'd  already anyway so it might not even matter. Drink up.

I agree with PP that you are probably 2 DPO (maybe 3 DPO).  Has this been a stressful month for you already?  I ask because your other two months you appear to ovulate around CD 20, and here you're at CD 29.  How long have you been off the pill (assuming you were on it before)?

Also, so sorry about your grandparents.  T&P for your grandma! 
DH & Me: 33, TTC #1 since Nov. 2011 | DX: adrenal hyperplasia, prescribed prednisone

July 2012: 100 mg Clomid = BFN | August 2012: 100 mg Clomid = BFN
Sept/Oct/Nov 2012: failed to ovulate on my own - 73 day cycle!
12/06/12: Longest cycle ever ended by Provera | 12/13/12: Sono HSG - all clear!
Dec 2012/Jan 2013: 100 mg Clomid + trigger (Pregnyl) + TI = BFN (IUI #1 canceled due to thin lining)
Jan/Feb: 5 mg Femara + Pregnyl + IUI#1.2 = BFFN
Feb/Mar: 5 mg Femara + 25 mg Clomid + Pregnyl + TI = BFFFFN (IUI #2 canceled due to thin lining)
Mar/Apr: natural cycle (I actually ovulated!) = BFN
May: natural cycle = ?
Trying on our own until August 2013 (or I fail to ovulate)

Hi! I came off the pill in October. This has actually been the least stressful of the past 2 months so I was very thrown off by the late O.
