Alcohol while TTC? Is it safe?

Q: Hey guys, this may sound stupid, but I was just curious. I know you can’t drink while you’re pregnant, but what about while TTC?I’m not due till Tuesday for AF, and I have this going away BBQ tonight for a friend… and everyone will be drinking. Last month, I was sure I was pregnant and we went away to Simcoe for a golf weekend… and I was the only person not drunk off my ass. I was trying to be safe, just in case I was pregnant… and I found out 2 days after we got back that I wasn’t. Sometimes I feel so left out when we go out, cuz I’m the only one who’s not drinking! :(Anyways, what do you guys think? Is it safe to have any alcohol at this stage?TTC #1, you don’t have to be a douche about it, geez. No need to insult me for asking a valid question.

A: I have to be honest and tell you that I am not an expert here and I am ttc #1 also. However, I really think that it is important to make a few valid changes in life when ttc, but to continue to live as normal as possible. I think that stress an obsessing over trying to do everything “right” is going to make conception more unlikely then a few drinks you know? With that said, I am so anxious to conceive #1, but am trying to relax and live my life. My husband and I love to come home from work and cook dinner and have a couple drinks in the evening. Nevertheless, we want to go out on the weekends every now and then and have several (not meaning nightclubbing). So, I have been having a glass or wine or a beer maybe two nights a week. Or, my friend wanted to go out for dinner this week and we were catching up over drinks so I had two beers. This Sunday we’ll go out to an outdoor thing where everyone brings wine. I may have a glass or two, but then I’ll drive. I just think you should enjoy the things you like to do becasue it could be a while before you conceive. I also have had friends that have gotten pregnant when we were in party mode in college and they drank a ton. ALL of their kids are beautiful and healthy. Now, I am not saying party your head off if you want a kid, I’m just saying do what you feel is okay…unless a doctor tells you otherwise. Wow, sorry, I just wrote a book.
