How do you handle social drinking while ttc?

Lionel

My husband and I only drink socially, which equates to 3-4 drinks (MAX) per month. This is usually when we are visiting with friends or family.

While TTC, I have been avoiding drinking more than usual, especially during my TWW. Our families know that we are trying and don't question or ask when I decline an offer for a drink; they know we will tell them when we are pregnant.

My issue is with social situations with friends and coworkers. I am finding myself turning down invitations to go out with friends because I don't want to drink, but I also don't want to be bombarded with the really excited and high pitched "OMG, are you pregnant!?!?!?!" when I order a water and not a glass of wine.

Does anyone else have this issue? Do you stay in or go out? If you go out do you just own it and say oh I am just not in the mood? Do you have a drink?
