Alcohol after retrieval

[MickyHouse]

Hey everyone,

So im going out with my husband for a date night and was wondering if it was ok that i have a few glasses of wine or some beer.

Retrieval was wed

[woohooh]

You can. My doc said ok to alcohol after 24hrs of retrieval.

[MickyHouse in reply to woohooh]

Thanks. I called my clinic and the answering service lady said she asked a nurse and she said no. I was confused so wanted some personal opinions. I was pissed she didnt transfer me to a nurse. Maybe that’s the problem of doing ivf in Ukraine – it takes a lot of efforts to get the answer you need for today’s night!

Are you going to do Fresh transfer?

[MickyHouse in reply to woohooh]

Yes on mon

[woohooh in reply to MickyHouse]

Oh! Then no no!

May be that would be the reason they would have said No.

[MickyHouse in reply to woohooh]

My doctor told me i could before as long as not the day or two before. I had a glass. Nothing major. What would be the difference with fresh or frozen?

[woohooh in reply to MickyHouse]

Fresh means you will do the transfer like after 3 or 5 days after the ER. Frozen means you will have at least a month for the transfer!!

[MickyHouse in reply to woohooh]

Oh yes thats what I thought you were going to say. I just didnt know if anything else.

A glass of wine is fine! Think of the millions of babies conceived under heavy influence of alcohol. As long as you’re not pissed and you keep hydrated have a glass and relax xx

When I had one of my NHS cycles I had a wedding a few days later and the nurse told me to go and enjoy a glass or two of wine it might be my last. I think so long as you arent going all out then it should be ok.xx

[MickyHouse in reply to Cinderella5]

Thank you xx

[MickyHouse in reply to Hartley1]

😂😂

Thanks! Now I feel more confident 😅

One or two glasses is not going to make a difference so go and enjoy yourself and have your last drink hopefully for a while!! God knows how many people get pregnant after a drunken romp so clearly is doesn’t affect implantation that much 😂

My consultant said to enjoy a glass of wine or 2 the day after the retrieval xx

Hi Mickey I never drink alcohol 🍺 so not much help but one thing is sure that during my ivf the doctor and nurses told to avoid alcohol and caffeine 😊

My nurse always says a few glasses doesn’t hurt if it relaxes you, i would say you have earned them! Enjoy x
