TTTC related - drinking while stimming?

[Elsa]

It depends on your RE. I think you'd be fine having a drink or two honestly.

I always drank. My RE said it was ok to have a couple.

Is this for IVF? I didn't have that but had IUI and I did drink. One of my best friends had a going away party for her cross country move and I remember doing my first injection before going to the bar and getting pretty wasted.

Both of my REs told me not to drink for my IVF cycles. There may not be any good studies proving it is helpful, but I was paying thousands of dollars for their skill/expertise and figured I'd do what they said!

Well I kept on saying "I'll be pregnant any day now!" so I drank quite a bit through....eight months of fertility treatments. My first IVF transfer worked though FWIW.

I stopped drinking once I had my ER. H and I actually had Mexican the night before my ER and I had  a large margarita. I told him it would be my last for 9 months  I don't think my RE ever said anything, I just figured I wouldn't. The only rule for me was no running or sex.

I'm a big drinker and have always been more relaxed about drinking during TWW, during pregnancy, while nursing... That said, I avoided alcohol during stimming and the TWW of my IVF cycle. I figured I was spending that much money, I wasn't going to take the chance of it not working because I couldn't give up alcohol for a month. I also gave up sweets, potatoes, write bread for several months, and seriously cut back on my caffeine.

Late to the party but I still drank. Not as much, but I'd have a drink or two in social situations.

I drank while stimming for 1-2 of my IUIs. My RE said no alcohol for 2 months prior to and during IVF but have a glass of wine to celebrate after BFP.
