A glass of wine during stimms?

SCITP · August 2009

DH's birthday is on Saturday and we are going out to dinner with another couple. Usually we'd order a bottle of wine to share. I dont want this couple to know what is up. Is it okay to have a glass? I've pretty much cut out caffeeine because I read it can affect implantion, but what about an antioxident rich glass of red wine? I will be day 6 into stimms for IVF #1.

I would def do it and don't think it affects follie growth. You could always say you are on antibiotics and that is why you don't want to drink if you are not comfortable. Also, by then you should have a good idea of how you are progressing. My RE said it was fine, so truthfully I don't think it is going to affect you, but you need to be comfortable with it. GL!

Go for it. I played a game of *** (complete with beer chugging) during the first few days of stims and they got 16 Grade AA blasts from me.

Enjoy!

My RE told me not to be downing margaritas, but a glass of red wine is fine. He actually said, if you want a glass of something, red wine would be best b/c of the antioxidants!
