TTC and One Off Heavy Drinking
Firstly well aware overthinking this, have a nephew conceived on tequila who’s fine and there are thousands of children conceived without any pre-pregnancy supplements who are also totally fine
That said, about to embark on the “no saunas and taking supplements as if we’re already pregnant” phase of family planning however the end of those 3 months also coincides with a close friend’s wedding where as a one off, there’s likely to be heavy drinking (we know binge drinking is worse than a glass of wine once a week, just being realistic about what’ll happen here!)
Just how bad is a couple of nights of heavy drinking for sperm quality? The plan is to cut out/limit to one drink alcohol entirely but are a couple of nights (Saturday before then Saturday of following week) going to entirely erase the previous 3 months of optimal preparation? I know what the GP would say and I know Sod’s Law says that if we do drink, we’ll get pregnant first try but if we don’t, it’ll take a few months beyond that anyway
Looking a bit of realistic advice here as if it really could be an issue for mum/baby obviously won’t but if the swimmers can survive a couple of nights of heavy drinking, would be nice to celebrate
