I'm 4 DPO and have completely refrained from all alcohol and cigs. I think that it is just making me obsess more and have heard from pregnant friends that it doesn't really matter until you have missed AF - does anyone have some facts or opinions?

Hi,

I don't really have any facts, but this is what my doctor told me when I was freaking out about the alcohol I drank before I knew I was pg with #1. (and #2, come to think of it...) She said that until implantation, the egg is just 'floating' around in there and isn't really getting nutrients from your body, just the yolk sac. So, it's not really absorbing alcohol until it implants. And in most women, the egg doesn't implant until 8-12 dpo. That said, I wouldn't recommend having more than one glass. Hope that helps.

GL to you!
