Do you drink alcohol while TTC?

lalala2004 · July 2015

This has been discussed here and there, but I don't think a poll has been done, and I was curious to see what everyone was doing. Also, I'm trying to decide exactly what I want to do as far as when I'll feel comfortable drinking while TTC.

Not giving up my wine until I have to!

MamaBish · July 2015

I voted tww but I don't drink much to begin with. Although, I am officially on vacation tomorrow so that may go out the window

AmadorRose · July 2015

I drink to my heart's content, but my body can't handle getting rowdy like I used to. Also, DH doesn't drink so that keeps me in check.

I will drink to its pink. That being said, I maybe have a class of wine or a 'rita maybe once a month. Maybe. Some times I will go months with out a drink.

I voted drink till it's pink! But honestly I drink maybe once a month. Twice a year I get incredibly drunk at two big parties we attend annually and H usually makes me get off the couch/floor to go to bed. The rest of the time it is a drink or two for a nice buzz while we have weekend get togethers with friends.

Love wine and will say good-bye to it when I need to.

drink till its pink! the alcohol in our systems isn't getting very far without a placenta!

I typically only drink on the weekends and have become a light weight. I try to watch what I eat and I usually work out at night, so having a cocktail post workout doesn't usually equal the best thing I can do for myself in my books.

I have debated this as I'm in the TWW right now. I've seen a few different things on FF about other than getting the timing right for sex, there is pretty much nothing you can do that affect your chances of conception once ovulation has occurred, so I guess I'm probably in the drink till its pink boat.

skiingstark · July 2015

I am going to try only to drink one glass of wine....

DutchLucyLu · July 2015

I voted 'Don't drink because I never did'.

I used to have one drink once every three months (if that) or so before TTC. I don't like wine or beer, so drinking alcohol doesn't really seem like something I'd have to 'give up' as it wasn't a part of my routine.

WinchestertoPittsburgh · July 2015

I do, however I definitely don't get 'drunk' like I used to. I say that in quotations because my version of drunk for the past five years has been a few too many glasses of wine or champagne, falling asleep naked and finding out that I cried to DH the night before for some god awful reason that makes no sense whatsoever. It happens every time. College drunk and adult drunk? Not the same.

dsmith211 · July 2015

I still drink but I've definitely reduced my intake... except maybe CD 1

imrachellea · July 2015

I still drink but I didn't drink much before. We get a bottle of wine or case of hard cider every few weeks maybe, once a month or less we may get a bottle of coconut rum to make some mixed drinks. I haven't drank in about 3 weeks now.

Lulucooks · July 2015

I drink as much as I always have. Which is not very much. Every time I've gotten drunk I get so very sick because my kidneys have issues so I get super dehydrated really quick and end up feeling like living hell. I can have a drink or two and be fine. Makes me a cheap date ^_^ lol. So I put drink till its pink, but I only have a drink or two every now and then. Maybe once or twice a month, sometimes I go months. Just depends.

mrsmtothek · July 2015

I never drink during the week, so on the weekends if we go out to dinner I'll definitely have a glass of wine. Sometimes one glass turns into 2, which turns into 3...I try to limit my consumption but I also want to enjoy while I can

mrsE2015 · July 2015

I love wine! But now that I am trying to conceive I usually only drink a glass or two a few times a week, usually on the weekends!

Edit: bump ate part of my post!

cattlebride · July 2015

I'm a speshul snowflyke. I drink but I typically stop 7-8dpo crossing my fingers that implantation might accidentally occur, even though I know baby doesn't share a blood supply yet ;-)

0Face · July 2015

I drink a beer or glass of cocktail about 4 times a week. Mostly just because I like it. And also, the summer inspires my drinking tendencies.

I just avoid too much because it affects my sleep.

indulgentgypsy · July 2015

I voted for slight change, and honestly I am drinking more now than I have in the past 6 or 7 years - summer break plus other stressors... so right now...

lalalorelai · July 2015

Man I feel like an alcoholic next to some of you...

I stopped drinking all together. I didn't drink much to begin with. Alcohol makes me really sleepy. If we go out to dinner and I have a margarita, I'll be in bed asleep as soon as we get home. I'm not as fun as I used to be haha.

abpl2014 · July 2015

@lalalorelai me too, ha!

lalala2004 · July 2015

I'm leaning towards only drinking on my period. Not because I think it's harmful at other times, but I love my occasional (and by occasional I mean frequent) beer and wine so much that I think it's going to be more difficult to give it up for pregnancy if I don't start cutting back now. Same with caffeine, although I'm not having much success with that, yet >.<
