Have you stopped drinking alcohol while TTC?

Just interested to know how many of you have given up drinking any alcohol while trying to conceive?
It took me 1 year and 3 months with my first and when it finally did happen it was unexpected as we weren't trying hard ie tracking fertile days etc.
So my question is is it ok to still have a few glasses of wine at a weekend while TTC? Obviously as soon as you get that positive pregnancy test then no further alcohol is consumed but it could potentially mean not drinking for a year or more while TTC...
Christmas parties, weddings etc.
Thoughts?

Yes it's fine.

Of course. Though I didn't get pregnant until we went out and got plastered after months and months of being mostly teetotal

When I was ttc I didn't drink during the tww but did enjoy a few drinks out with that. I got a bfp last Wednesday so no more alcohol for me. I did have a glass on Sunday as I'd had a bfn and thought I was out but oh well.

We’re TTC at the moment and I’m still drinking. I’m not a big drinker anyway tbh but have still be enjoying while I can!

We’ve got a few social things coming up this month but they will be when I’m in the TWW or when AF is due so not sure what I’ll do then! Do other people just wait until they get a BFP before stopping drinking?

Hello! Anyone still here? I've started ttc baby #3 (with new DP) in October. I have cut down my red wine, I had 1 glass on Friday, 2 glasses yesterday (Sat) both with dinner and today I'd love to have one with my Sunday meal :)
I'm 40 so my plan is to cut it out even further to just one glass per day on weekends hmmm.

I take supplements, some recommended from the very famous "It Starts with The Egg"....
