question about TTC (not me)

if you're actively trying to conceive, are you allowed to drink booze?

(and no, it's not me who's TTC)

Re: question about TTC (not me)

i not 100% sure, but i think the answer would be YESSSS...and i would bet that the majority of babies were conceived with SOME alcohol involved

Re: question about TTC (not me)

of course!

edit because i'm a moron

Re: question about TTC (not me)

yeah you can, its just that when you know you're in the time period from the last day u ovulated to when you could get AF, you shouldn't go overboard.

Re: question about TTC (not me)

i suppose that makes sense ...

i have no idea why, but i somehow got it in my head that once you're TTC, you shouldn't touch any alcohol (just like when you're preggo) ... i wonder where that stupidity came from '

anyway, thanks girls

Re: question about TTC (not me)

well i'm reading things and have been told a glass of wine at a once a week pace during your second trimester isn't neither harmful nor helpful to a baby.

i'm not taking chances, so for now, it's margarita ice from ralph's to hold me over. LMAO.

Re: question about TTC (not me)

you can but of course its better not to. the better health your body is in the better it is when TTC.

Re: question about TTC (not me)

I took my first pregnancy test after a couple of shots of saki lol

Re: question about TTC (not me)

yes once you get a positive pregnancy test you stop

i thought that during your two week wait you shouldnt drink in case you are pregnant (conceiving).

Re: question about TTC (not me)

Yeah. You can drink until you get the positive test. I was actually drinking the day before I tested positive. The Dr said it's fine because the baby does not share your blood yet. It's fine!

some ppl go by that mantra, but there's scientifically no reason why it's not ok.

I agree with this advice.

Re: question about TTC (not me)

Yes.

And don't forget that even when you are pregnant -- they now say having a glass of wine is okay :D

Re: question about TTC (not me)

I think its more of a personal preference of what ur comfortable with. We tell our patients not to after ovulation/insemination/embryo transfer. But our recommendations are above and beyond.
