  Thanks for sharing these studied.  I was in the drink 'til its pink camp until my RE appointment.  She told me only 1-2 drinks per week.  I would do anything that she said, even it it was something crazy like run around the bed three times after sex while quacking like a duck.  It is nice to have some scientific backing on why to abstain from alcohol.

  Ooh, tell me if that run around the bed and quack thing works, I'll totally try it if it does!!

  If she told me to do that, I may consider switching RE's (but I would still be quacking).

  Thanks for posting.  I love my wine, but I'm going to think seriously about abstaining most of the time.  (Particularly since not abstaining clearly hasn't worked out for me so far.)

  ReeceFamily:

  This is a follow-up to the "Forbidden Foods" post - great topic, by the way!  Here is some info on the effects of alcohol consumption on hormones.  I was definitely in the "drink until pink" category, until I started experiencing problems that seem related to too much estrogen/too little progesterone.  My body is going nutso on the hormone front after my miscarriage in May, so I am trying to abstain as much as possible, as painful as that is .  While the last link is specific to miscarriage, it has tons of great research on the effects of different substances on reproductive health.

  Thank you for posting this!  Terrific links.  I read this yesterday and it inspired me to (1) stop drinking entirely and (2) intro myself to this board.
