Having a drink while TTC?

Erin

Hello all! My boyfriend and I have recently decided to have a baby, in fact we just started TTC a couple weeks ago, so everything is new, including this app!

I wanted to get some feedback regarding alcohol while TTC. I’ve read several articles and none seem to be consistent regarding the planning stages. Some say you shouldn’t drink at all once you’re off birth control, and some say a drink or two is okay as long as you avoid the two week wait.

I’m wondering if it’s okay to have a drink or two while TTC. We haven’t told anyone that we’re trying, and we’ll still have a social life during this time. So there will be situations where I’m with friends at a bar or restaurant where everyone is drinking. I’m sure you’ve all been there. Any thoughts?
