When we were ttc I stopped drinking for the first few months but then got bored and decided to carry on my normal life, but just drinking slightly less wine. So I dranka glass of wine or two, 3 or 4 nights a week. I actually conceived in December during a big run of Christmas nights out!

I am 34 and conceived naturally after 7 months.

Thank you so much for this info.

Drink a glass of red wine. It actually helps with thickening your lining and helps implantation.
Worked for me three times so I'm a firm believer. Only one glass though!!

Wow.. that's great news!
So, one glass with dinner= not a big deal, and by the sound of things, could actually help! Got it! Thanks so much

i heard red wine = good, some people even have a glass later in pregnancy! I drank right up until my bfp! usually had a glass with dinner or something

Im 39, OH is 41. We both drank every night (occasionally we didnt but most of the time we did) and have done so for years. He would have maybe 3/4 of a bottle of red a night and Id have 6 or 7 vodkas or a 2 or 3 glasses of white wine. We would have much more at weekends. I smoked 20 cigs a day as well. We decided to start trying in September, had sex once and got pregnant first time. Our first baby is now due in 6 weeks. I personally believe that part of the reason we got pregnant so quick was because we were chilled about it (despite me being paranoid that it would take forever because i was too old!) I wouldnt change my lifestyle or drinking habits unless Id been trying for ages. x

I'm no spring chicken at 29 and from a large italian family of wine drinkers... I drank A LOT of wine leading up to my BFP, I honestly don't believe it affects conception at all.

I was feeling down after a m/c, and got drunk one Saturday night on wine with my OH, and boom! This baby was conceived! I didn't stop drinking while we were ttc, but its a good idea to cut down a bit while you are in the 2 week wait, just in case you are pregnant and just don't know yet. I think wine helps, because it makes you relaxed! Good luck x x
