Drinking in the TWW - Does is stop implantation?

[Willowfalls]

Hello,

I’m 4dpo & wondering the above really! It is mine and DH anniversary next week & wondered if I would be silly to have a few drinks?

On cycle 2 for baby no 1!

Thank you xx

No, you’ll be fine :)

You will see mixed views on this but on balance I'd say it's fine. You've only just started your ttc journey and it could take a few months. I'd avoid getting too trollied (although I'll be honest I drank more than normal in my TWW as I was so convinced I hadn't conceived, and now have a happy healthy 13mo).

Having the occasional glass in pregnancy or while breastfeeding is also generally fine - you just have to keep it to a minimum.

It certainly didn’t for me.

The science says it can reduce chances of implantation by as much as 25% - the same goes for caffeine and aspartame based soft drinks like Diet Coke. But that means 75% of people will be just fine

My personally I don't ever drink in the 2ww. But I have had a weak years of infertility and I just couldn't take the guilt and the wondering "what ifs"
