Drinking in TWW

[WildFinch]

Hi all,
Currently 7DPO and on holiday for a long weekend. We enjoy a wine or two when away. Do you tend to abstain when trying? Or do you think being this early it won't make much difference? We've really cut down on alcohol generally and I've cut down on caffeine too but want to let loose a bit when away.
Thanks!

Hi! I’m also in tww (5dpo) and currently enjoying a glass of Prosecco! I’ve been Ttc 16 months now, and when we first started I did completely abstain from alcohol, but I have relaxed that a little now as I’ve been trying so long! I don’t go on wild nights out in TWW but try not to worry too much about the odd glass of wine! I’m sure some people will say that’s wrong, however to be honest it helps me cope! Good luck to you!!

It won't do any damage, but apparently it lowers the chance of a fertilised egg implanting. So for that reason I didn't drink in the ttw.

Thanks both for replying. I've been limiting alcohol, caffeine etc since I was pregnant last summer. Ended in a MMC but stuck with the better habits. I've had a drink while on holiday but nothing crazy. I think I'll abstain in the TWW in the future then. Fingers crossed for us all 🤞

Long ago, in the days when we didn’t know effects of alcohol, eating seafood, soft cheese etc, one New Year’s Eve I drank significantly and that was the night I became pregnant! We’d been “trying” for 4 months.
Once I suspected I was pregnant, I abstained completely.
My DC is a very healthy adult.

Do what you feel comfortable with.

I decided not to drink during ttw because it can affect implantation chances, but I'm in my forties and need all the help I can get 😊It was a bit of a pain going to a Sat evening with friends and being the only one not drinking so I'm planning to leave early or do different things during ttw in future. I do drink a bit other times so not perfect!
