Drinking before implantation?
| Sat, 07-26-2003 - 3:20pm |
Does alcohol harm an egg that has not implanted yet, or could it hurt the chances of implantation? If I’m going to a birthday get-together (at a bar nonetheless) and could potentially be pregnant but very early on (3 or 4 DPO), would a drink or two be okay, or is it best to steer clear of it all together?

Call your dr's office and ask the triage nurse and then have fun. It's one night!

Just one more thing to add to everything. I have a friend who is a obgyn doc and she said just do not drink more than 1 drink an hour. She said that if I follow that I will just fine. I thought that was great advice. Good luck

When I was trying for my first I quit drinking nearly all together for the first 16 mo (occassionally had a glass of wine during AF). Around 16 mo ttc my gyn told me I wasn't ovulating and set up an appointment with the fertility clinic to get me started on clomid. I gave up the 'no drinking' rule because I thought I wasn't going to be able to get pg w/o medical help and was a little depressed. I went back to my earlier drinking patterns which was something like 1 glass of wine after dinner every evening. One Friday night when I was really stressed over work DH and I made plans to hang out playing games and share a couple bottles of wine (yes, bottles). As I was leaving the store to go home it occurred to me that I was a few days past due for AF. I ran back in for an HPT 'just in case'. Sure enough, I was pg. (Pregnant and terrified. It took my midwife three visits to convince me I hadn't done something horrible).
However, right about that time a study from Europe was published about drinking and conception rates. Apparently it was found that women who drank moderately (up to 1 drink a day) took less time to concieve than women who abstained.
Of course, its up to you, but I'd go ahead and have a beer or two. Just don't drink much or often. JMO
