Alcohol consumption and fertility?

Question

Ok so I'm a bartender. Basically I work 5 days a week for 9 or 10 hour shifts, while on my feet, and running all over the place. By the end of the day I'm stressed out and I really enjoy coming home to a glass of wine. However, I just read this article that consuming any kind of alcohol can cause fertility problems, like inferior ovums, and it can prevent sperm from reaching the egg. Does anyone know how accurate this is? Of course I'm willing to give up my wine if it means conceiving, but I figured that I would be able to enjoy my wine up until we conceived. Does anyone have experience with this?

Answer

See idk if I even want to risk it. I threw away the bottle of wine in my fridge, and I'm just going to stay away from alcohol, or at least cut it down to maybe a glass at thanksgiving and a glass at Christmas until we conceive. I'll just worry if I drink at all at this point.

Answer

That typically applies to alcoholics. Normal alcohol consumption shouldn't have any impact.

Answer

My husband & I had a glass of wine with dinner most nights until we started TTC. I got pregnant our first cycle trying, so it didn't harm us at least!

Answer

I think most of us enjoy a glass of wine in the evening no shame in it huni. As someone said before a lot of ladies get drunk and end up pg. I don't think it makes a huge difference unless it's a high consumption regularly. Enjoy what you can girl before you get pg xxx

Lots of love x

Answer

I hear ya! When I bartended A LOT- I would get turned off by alcohol- turned sober. But, I do enjoy wine. I cut back during our trying to concieve- but still consumed an occasional glass. The one thing that was hard to put down was coffee!!! I think coffee consumption was too much for my fertility. 
I will attest- stress is the biggest cause of infertility!!! So chill, unwind have a glass casually and occasionally - watch caffeine- and no stress!!! 😘
