  I can't remember what the suggestions are but I had one beer the day after I started Lupron then didn't touch a drop until after I had LO. I felt what you said. I wanted a baby much worse than I wanted alcohol. I hope that doesn't sound mean because I certainly don't want it to, but I would stop drinking if I were you. Everyone else may disagree though!!!

  I went out for drinks the night of my iui...and then went to an outdoor music festival 8 days later. Because I had no hope left, sort of...and that was my successful cycle.
  
  Not ivf, but I did injects. Don't go super crazy every night, but don't feel guilty! Enjoy!

  LeahB12:

  I did! I was on Lupron for over a month before starting stims. I can't take BCP because of my clotting disorders. It didn't stop me from drinking. I even had one bad night involving an open bar and my DH ordering me doubles without me knowing. I've been through enough that I feel like having some drinks while on Lupron is definitely not the deciding factor. GL!
  
  ETA: I stopped any alcohol once I started stims. At that point I treated my body like I was pregnant.

  
  I've heard a lot say no drinking during stims, but Lupron is ok. I just started on Saturday, I've been on BCP for a little over 3 weeks. I really don't think the 3 glasses I've had in 2 days is that big of a deal, I just need reassurance from people who have been successful. I just don't think I'll drink from here on out. I worry too much!

  I drank on Lupron! Not tons and tons, but I clearly remember having my IRL IVF buddy make me a margarita on Friday, when I started stims on Saturday. I will confess to one beer while on stims. 

  My IVF buddy made herself the same margarita a few months later (on Lupron, the day before stims), which was her successful cycle. 

  Relax and don't stress. IF is stressful enough without mentally blaming yourself for a failure when it hasn't happened yet. Hugs and good luck on your cycle!

  Personally, I didn't drink as soon as I started any shots and really didn't drink much on BCPs either.  For me, I just didn't want to look back if the cycle wasn't successful and wonder what if... to every little thing.  So the things I could control, I did.  But that's just me.  GL!
