Hello Ladies..... my DH and I are "debating" over a glass of wine. I have not had more than 4 glasses in the past 2 months and only when AF is visiting.... last night he came home with 4 bottles of wine and when I grabbed a glass to have some- he said I shouldn't.... Now, I am by no means an alcholic, but I enjoy a glass of wine once in a while.

HOWEVER..... I have read that he should avoid alcohol- and when I said that he said- my test all came back fine, if I had slow swimmers or bad results, I would stop drinking.

Does anyone else feel like they are going to strangle their DH during this wonderful time of TTC?

At times it is frustrating, like when he's 'too tired' or 'has a sore back' when we should be bd'ing. I understand it gets to be a bit much sometimes when bd'ing is not necessarily when you feel like it, but there is such a short time period when it is SO important!! Other than that he's been great. It's such an emotional roller-coaster sometimes, he knows better than to criticize!

Hi,

I have to say I am in the same boat. I love to have a glass of wine and I believe there is nothing wrong with it as long as you are sure you do not have a BFP. I know it’s easy to give up.....just hang in there.

I understand the frustration. I think as women we want the men in our lives to fully understand our emotions and that just does not happen. I am often frustrated with that very thing. I have not read about how alcohol affects the men for fertility sooo I am unsure on that point.

I do know the issue with alcohol and woman is that there are no hard fast rules. What I mean is one woman can have one drink and her baby will be born with FAS and then another woman will drink the whole pregnancy and the baby will be fine. I think FAS is one of the worst things because they truly do not know what causes it (the amount and why in some and not in others I mean)....it is very random. Scary!!!
