Hi !!! I'm so happy for you that you're ttc again.

As for the drinking thing... I've only actively ttc-ed once. The other 3 times I got pregnant were surprises, and two of them I'd been on holiday when I would have concieved, and just after, and was drinking vast amounts.... The boys were fine

i still have a drink now and will stop altogether when im pg, one of my close friends went on my hen night and to my weding in the same 4 weeks she didn't know she was pg, she's due on Weds so i really don't think it affects the bean as long as you stop once you know your pg, after ttc for 8mths i couldn't cope without having a drink!!

Persoanlly I smoked casualy before I was PG with DS...he was a surprise...and obviously had the odd drinkie poo too....he was perfectly fine and I totally gave up smoking the moment I found out I was PG...

I got married 3 weeks before I had DS by CS, and I had a glass or two of champagne at my wedding...my midwife told me (and she was heavily PG too) that as long as I spaced them out over the vening etc then it would have time to be processed properly via my liver/kidneys and wouldn't have an effect on beanie!

As for TTC..well this is Cycle 1 and I have had one glass of wine over the weekend...didn't even think about cause/effect to be honest!!

So I say...everything in moderation!! (If only I could remember that when it comes to CHOCOLATE!!!!)

Generally I'm teetotal, just never been a big drinker so cutting it out for TTC isn't a big thing ................

However on sat we went out in London and I got very pished! Ok, I am a light weight and it only took 4 G&T's, but I pretty sure it won't have made this month a right off. OH also cuts it out around O to make sure his are uber fit and healthy! (No idea if it actually helps but he feels like he's doing his bit!)

Once I get my I won't touch a drop, until then on the odd occasion I may indulge a little.

I say everything in moderation. DH and I have been TTC 9 months now and I think I would have went insane without !! I have started drinking decaf though. Not going to stop vino completely until .

I read an article the other day saying that too much caffeine stops the egg from implanting in your womb... so now i'm panicking that my 1 cup from Starbucks is too much!!!

I haven't been to the dr's yet to check this out..but I have read online that a mans sperm count or mobility is effected by alcohol.
and it takes 100 days for sperm to mature?? not to sure about this either.
Any ladies out there have info about this.........My oh and I are currently waiting 3 months from an all inclusive ( meaning free drinks for a week) trip to cuba before TTC.....and the wait is killing me.
I should be asking my doctor but haven't made appointment yet!
