Hey guys! I was just wondering if you totally stay away from alcohol while ttc? I never drink alcohol in the 2ww "just in case" but for the last 2 months I haven´t really been drinking before ovulation either because I´m not sure if it affects my fertility. I´m the type that likes to have a glass of wine with a saturday dinner or with friends but now I always feel like I shouldn´t (just have couple of sips..) and it is quite noticable (my friends have been asking me if I´m pregnant which can be heartbraking while trying so hard)
I also have asked DH to minimize his beer intake before ovulation.. again, not knowing if it has any affect at all. He is not happy but obeys, knows better than to mess with the overthinking fertility machine that is his wife.
Is this over the top? Does anyone here know the real affects sensible alcohol consumption has on fertility (both mine and DH)? I have started to feel like everything is on hold until the baby is conceived, including social life and romantic dinners.. (don´t get me wrong - alcohol is not THAT important to me but it sure feels nice sometimes)
