Alcohol and TTC

[Pugmumm]

I've cracked... I'm on second cycle and in my ovulation week. I have fancied a glass of Prosecco last night and tonight. I had one last night only. Don't drink during the week.

I am not a heavy drinker at all so I would like to think this shouldn't affect my chances? Obviously when I get BFP alcohol will be a no no for me. I am taking my folic acid supplements and eating as healthy as I can.

Has anyone quit alcohol and got their BFP? Thank you x

There are so, so many stories of people drinking and getting pregnant.

I myself was still drinking socially whilst TTC and conceived. In fact my first cycle we didn't use protection and only DTD once during my fertile period. I thought I had no chance and went to my best friends hen do and drank and danced the night away....10 days later I got my BFP!

I know we need to be mindful but I'm a believer that life shouldn't stop when TTC, a few proseccos and glasses of wine aren't going to hurt anything. Obviously regular binge drinking might be another matter.

You are absolutely fine. Good luck! X

Thank you so much @Flossyrex nice to hear from someone else, I almost to a point feel a bit guilty. With my last cycle my whole life literally felt like it came to a 'stop' during my TWW... 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

I will carry on as normal but luckily never binge drink x

There's a saying - drink til it's pink!

Until there are 2 lines on a test, live your life like normal.

I was TTC for over 2 years. That would have been a long time to live like I was pregnant.

It took me 6 years to get pregnant

Live your life. My ivf consultant recommended red wine ....

I had IVF and I drank up until they transferred the embryo. Not a lot of course, just a glass of wine here and there.

Thank you everyone 💕

What @Twizbe said. I’ve been trying for two years and I don’t drink much anyway, but I can’t live like I’m pregnant for years on end. If I eventually get a BFP then I’ll worry about it.
