Is it really bad to consume alcohol when TTC?

Question

Obviously I would never drink when I'm pregnant but I keep hearing so many mixed reviews about drinking when TTC. Anyone have an answer?

Answer

Drink till it's pink.

Answer

Alcohol can hurt a baby before you know your even pregnant. Bad idea.

Answer

If something were to go wrong with the pregnancy, I would always wonder if even one drink caused it. I'd never want to put myself through the "what if" game.

Answer

I drank wine until we had a positive pregnancy test with my daughter. This time it's taking us longer so I am going to cut alcohol for this stretch, I've heard mixed things but I'm fine cutting it so worth a shot.

Answer

My Dr said it was ok in small amounts before pregnancy test is positive as the embryo hasn't implanted to get nourishment yet during that first few weeks.

Answer

When trying to get pregnant why would anyone want to drink? The first couple weeks are very crucial to a babies development.

Answer

If you are trying them you will not know you are pregos and you will be pregos.  Every doctor will tell you no smoking, calling, alcohol, overcomes drugs are no good!!  Your baby when convinced goes through its most important growth even before you are pregos.... So starting to eat like though are pregos and taking your pre natal is critical in your baby's development.  Please make better choices... If you can't give it up while trying then honestly you should think about waiting until you are ready

Answer

I feel conflicted about this.  I'm attending a male Caberet bday party the week before my period and it's all you can drink.  As much as I want to I'm conflicted as to whether I should or not. I know it's too early to test and I would feel guilty if I did and I ended up pregnant.  My friends are the type where if I wasn't having a drink they would automatically assume I'm pregnant and I rarely drink as it is.  Ugh...
