TTC - do you stop boozing the last 2 weeks of the month?

Thinking of TTC soon but have a big night out a week after I ovulate. Obviously I won't know if I am pregnant until I miss my period the following week. Should I stop drinking the last two weeks just in case? My previous two DCs were conceived fairly quickly although 6 and 8 years ago now.

Totally a personal choice Smile but I'd say have fun until you get your line!

I drink during the 2ww but not to excess. Some people don't drink at all whilst TTC - that's their choice Smile

There's a slim chance it could affect a pregnancy but think how many women get pregnant without really trying - I bet the vast majority of them don't ditch the booze and their babies turn out fine.

It takes about 10 days to implant and isn't sharing your blood supply for a good while.
I'm of the drink til it's pink school of thought.

I don't drink anytime except when I'm on, but I was never a big drinker anyway and I have been losing weight so alcohol is just empty calories to me. It is totally down to personal choice and your situation. To me it's no big deal not drinking, I prefer chocolate!
