Alcohol??

Hey!

My auntie is getting married in two weeks & I’m unsure whether to have a few drinks or not. We haven’t started any fertility treatment as of yet, we’re waiting for our appointment which is Monday, however I’ve seen & heard things saying you shouldn’t drink alcohol 3 months before. What’s everyone’s opinions please x

Don’t worry, a few glasses before you start treatment won’t harm you. I was super strict for a long time, didn’t drink for a year but then before my fourth transfer I relaxed a bit and had a couple of drinks before starting - that transfer worked so I really don’t think it will cause harm! Xx

Just go for it! Fertility treatment takes over so much so enjoy those drinks and the wedding whilst you can.xx

I think you can because i remember my sister had a gender party and i attended and drink more than a few glass of drinks. That was only a week before my transfer and i was taking medication. My transfer was successfully i am now 25 weeks pregnant with twins.

I had cut alcohol right down but had probably a bottle of wine over Christmas. My collection and transfer were in January and we were successful. Don't be too strict on yourself, this process can be tough enough as it is x

It’s a special occasion I would say go for it! This can be a long road so whilst you might want to cut back and be a bit healthier you also need to live your life as well 🤗 enjoy the wedding xx

Enjoy a few social drinks while you can! It's a long road ahead lol. I'm 27 weeks now and look forward to a glass or two lol x

One or two glasses or wine won’t cause any harm. The fertility journey is long so I would say important to keep enjoying yourself xx
