To early for alchohol...!
Apr 1^st, 2009 at 7:01pm

I'm currently in the 7th week of my cycle and I'm experiencing very minor shadows and some days nothing at all. I have not had a drink of any description during this period, I even had to spend St.Patrick's day stone cold sober and my family thought i had set up a daddy day care as i had every niece and nephew dropped off that evening.

It is my partners 30th birthday this weekend and her friends and work colleagues have organised a surprise birthday party for her. In your experiences do you think that by having a drink it would set me off on a hit and maybe prolong my cycle. Alcohol is definitely a trigger for me...!

A very dry Lefty....! Tongue

Reply #2 - Apr 1^st, 2009 at 8:12pm It won't prolong a cycle for me....but if I'm still getting shadows and drink a beer, I'll get slammed! Not worth it for me. Joe

Reply #4 - Apr 2^nd, 2009 at 10:07am If it's a known trigger for you, I'd steer clear of it, personally. I'm not much of a drinker at any time, but I won't touch the stuff during a cycle. Edit to add: It doesn't prolong a cycle for me, but it will inevitably provoke a very nasty individual hit. Best, George
