TWW & alcohol

[ReginaPhalange89]

Just wondering what people's thoughts are on drinking when ttc , particularly in the 2 week wait from ovulation til period is due?

I don't drink much at all, in fact I haven't had any at all for 3 or 4 months . We've just started trying this month , I'm currently about 5dpo so waiting to test, but wondered if I had a couple of drinks this weekend would that be really bad if there's a chance I could be ?

Drink til it's pink I say!
We have fertility issues and have been ttc for some time, will be going to ivf soon. If I'd stayed off alcohol all this time I'd be really annoyed!
Having said that, I'm the same as you, rarely drink, so I don't think it's an issue.
Just my opinion though!

I probably conceived DD because of the bottle of wine I had

Drink till it's pink, might be the last time you can for a while. I went out on the lash before getting my positive with DS, did a pregnancy test that day, just to be sure and it was negative. Got a positive 2 days later.

Thanks all! I might treat myself to a few Gins tonight ! Can't decide though !

I'm celebrating my evap line with rare meat, wine and cocktails! Yum!

NICE guidelines are 1-2 units 1-2 times a week when trying to conceive. So I stuck to that between ovulation and waiting for test. Drank

I've bought myself 2 bottles of flavoured cider lol just need the baby to hurry up and get to bed so I can crack one open . Wild Saturday night watching TV 🙈

I tried to abstain during the tww but didn’t always succeed! The month I finally got pregnant I was convinced AF was on the way, drank 2-3 good size glasses of wine three nights in a row to drown my misery and was convinced the nausea I started feeling was a hangover... it wasn’t!

I think aiming not to drink too much is probably best but moderation is fine - don’t make an already stressful time worse by trying to be a saint!

I drank about half a bottle of white wine the evening before my bfp and it doesn't seem to have done any harm. Definitely drink 'til it's pink!
