I would say that you’re fine... I think there’s a lot to be said about relaxing... I personally don’t think one or two will do any harm x

Thanks so much chick, it’s so frustrating as so many differing views online and drives you insane! Real life experiences are much better, thank you xx

I agree... online can be a minefield! I think that’s why I like this forum so much as it’s just real women talking to one another ... enjoy your glass of wine :) xx

If it helps relax you then don’t worry. My clinic said I was ok to drink before injections, it wouldn’t make any odds xx

My clinic said the odd one won’t hurt since it’s better to be relaxed. Enjoy!
