Drinking when TTC

[BiscuitLover3678]

More appropriate for those where it’s taking a while. Are you completely teetotal or do you allow yourself alcohol until a positive test? My current thinking is to allow myself something when I get AF would you ever have any in ovulation week or just before? I’m talking a glass or so, obviously no binge drinking.

I drank as normal until my positive test - I wasn't a huge drinker though so tended to be only 2 or 3 drinks a week (apart from a couple of nights out). We were mainly in lockdown though....

I'm in the drink till it's pink 'team'. I limit the alcohol intake in the TWW but I don't put my life on hold.
But that's a decision everyone needs to do by themselves.

I drank as normal when TTC DS. Took 13 months but don’t think booze was to blame. I’m drinking less now but that’s because I have a toddler, I don’t want to put life on hold while TTC. That said I may consider cutting it out for health reasons if it’s taking us a long time this time.

I would always have a couple of glasses of wine at the weekend and won't be stopping until I get a BFP.
Did the same on baby number #1 & #2.

Drink til it's pink!

I personally haven't been drinking, but we've had a pretty crap year ttc wise so I want to do everything I possibly can to have a healthy baby. If I was to drink then it would be before ovulation but I'm not a massive drinker so don't really see the point!

I went out to a bar with my friend and had four gins when I was about three weeks pregnant. Obviously I had no idea at the time and didn’t find out until the following Sunday but it didn’t harm my son as he had no placenta at that point :)

I started out not drinking at all when we were first TTC but gave up at the six month mark. It took 15 months in the end.

I like all your thinking ;)
