To wine or not to wine? 🍷

Question

What's everyones opinion or practice on drinking while ttc? My Dr and friends and family who have conceived all say it's fine. Although I stick to no more than a glass or two I can't help but wonder if the alcohol is the culprit when I get my af. Being that it's taking awhile and that a glass of wine can help comfort my anxieties and disappointments, I'd hate to stave off if its going to continue to take awhile. Thoughts?

Answer

Drink until it's pink

Answer

I have a glass or two a week. If I didn't it would be over two years of no wine. If I were actually pregnant I wouldn't but I'm not so I try to enjoy my life on top of infertility.

Answer

Personally I believe that as much as I want to be prepared for that moment that it happens, life also has to continue in the meantime.  A glass or two every now and again while ttc is not going to harm anything. Once BFP happens though I will most definitely be cutting myself off.

Answer

Nothing wrong with it . I asked my doctor that too when my husband and I were TTCing it took over a year but had nothing to do with drinking

Answer

Alcohol cannot affect your baby until it implants (about 7-9 DPO), so I drink regular/social amount until about 5-6 DPO (just in case).  Unless you have a drinking problem that could affect the eggs themselves before fertilization even happens, don't stress about it.   If it helps, just think about the hundreds, if not thousands of babies that were happily conceived while mama was partaking in alcoholic refreshments ;).  Just go with the golden rule that I apply to everything in life, "just don't overdo it."

Answer

I don't drink during my tww but I do the rest of the time.
