Does it have an effect. The clinic advise no drink but what's the reason?

Are you doing an FET? I’ve had the odd glass of wine before a frozen transfer and I personally don’t think it’s going to do any harm. I wouldn’t go out on the piss but you’re not pregnant yet, your embryo is already made and safely stored, I don’t think it would do any harm 🤷🏼‍♀️ I had a glass of wine to calm my nerves the night before my transfer which resulted in my daughter 😊 xx

I’m doing a FET and will be having the odd drink. Not more than one at a time but then I’m a massive lightweight these days anyway 😂

I have certainly had a glass or two while on estrogen. If it's for a FET I can't see the harm 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don't think it interacts with the drug if that's the concern. I'm not sure a massive night out is advised though 😁

I’m not sure when you take oestrogen as I had a natural FET but my last and most successful I had my husbands surprise 30th a week before my transfer and lets just say I enjoyed myself! I’m currently 15 weeks pregnant with twins.

I’ve been trying to conceive for over 3 years and have tried reducing alcohol and cutting it completely for majority of the time and throughout our previous ivf rounds, this time I let loose as and thought he only turns 30 once.

I imagine a few drinks won’t make a difference for you but as I said I don’t know anything about the oestrogen as not used it before. Perhaps ask the clinic why their recommendation is to have none! Good luck x

I think it would be okay
