If you did BCP's before beginning stims...Did you avoid alcohol and caffeine while on BCP's also? They said no caffeine/alcohol for the cycle. I know I can ask the RE's nurse, I just thought I'd ask you girls first. We'll be on vacation when I'm on BCP's so I'm wondering if I'll be alcohol free for our vacation.

I didn't fully cut out caffeine or alcohol until I started injections. I did start to cut back both though when I started bcp's, mainly so it wasn't a sudden stop of caffeine. I say enjoy a few drinks on your vacation.
I know a 40something person who did a full cleanse for 90 days before her cycle - no alcohol, no caffeine, no dairy, etc. and she got some pretty awesome eggs and embryos. I wish I had cut all that out sooner
I was told to avoid the alcohol and caffeine while stimming, not while on the bcp's. I say enjoy some drinks on vacation!

This. Same for both cycles - BFN and BFP. I wasn't on BCP but I used both right up until the day I started injections. GL!
I did not cut it out completely but did cut back. My RE said if you do not suspect any issues with egg quality, you shouldn't have to cut out anything or change your diet.
