Do any of you drink socially on a regular basis? I know it's not good to do while you are ttc, but I drink on the weekends, and was having a few during the week. I have read that it can contribute to fertility issues. In the male it can decline it by 40%. Dh and I are not drinking anymore during the week and just socially on the weekends now. I am doing everything else right. So, anyway my question is .. any of you who have gotten pregnant, were you drinking at the time ?? Thanks

Hi Tina.
We both figured that having a baby was far more important to us than our weekend or weekday drinks, so we locked it all in a cabinet from the moment we decided to TTC. Also, when you do get pregnant, it will be good practice! Good luck.

I had a few drinks here and there for the first few months of ttc. The month I got pregnant, though, I didn't have any drinks at all, so I think it is true. If you want to get pregnant, don't drink at all. I have heard it can interfere with your LH surge and ovulation and it can affect a mans sperm. So you need to decide what is more important right now.

That's when most pregnancies happen, we both are drunk...ha ha

Both times I conceived,dh & I were drinking like 3-4 days a week. And we both smoke--which they say decreases fertility. I truly believe NOW (after ttc for so long), it happens when and if it's supposed to happen. I just kept thinking crack heads/heroin addicts get pregnant everyday!!! Don't get me wrong, being healthy is GREAT but still.....

I was pregnant once before, and drank alcohol. Infact ...i dont think it makes a d__n difference...only when u find out yu are pregnant, is the time to stop. However im not advocating heavy drinking, but maybe a beer or so,,I m trying to get preggers now, and just relaxing,,,if it means a lager after my dinner so be it..
