Thank you for sharing this information. I have had 3 early miscarriages with no known cause. Your personality seems very calm and welcoming and I’m about to binge all of your videos 😁

Thank you so much for this video! My husband and I are trying to conceive and this has been such a grey area in terms of information. I do not drink very often at all and when I do it's only one drink. This video completely eased my mind in terms of the guilt for even one drink during my cycle! I can always trust your advice and love your videos. Thank you so much for educating all of us who are trying to conceive!

Based on my experience, I only got pregnant after stopping drinking alcohol all together and my husband's sperm improved significantly ( the number of healthy sperm doubled) after 3 months of abstinence. We used to drink a glass of wine or two with our dinner. It turned out to be too much.

What about drinking a bottle of wine once every month?

[sweetbee]

Hi i am still confused in term of timelines. So is it ok during the two weeks wait when the test shows negative?

[zoedoubas]

Does the study that mentions binge drinking show that just two incidents of binge drinking ( even if you don’t drink at all the rest of the time ) reduces your chance of getting pregnant in the next 19 months? Or just until you get your next period?

[Article_Book_immigration]

Does alcohol damage sperm in any way?
Should men abstain from drinking alcohol 🍸 before pregnancy ? If yes, how long before ?

[goafricatoursltd]

Does high alcohol intake affect fertility for that specific cycle, or does it affect fertility overall in the long run?

[dancingkatii]

I am not drinking Alkohol at all but my husband does and his sperms qualety is bad. He hast OAT 1-2 diagnoesd. His sperm get better becouse off Supplements. But the qualety is not steady its irregular. So my question is he is drinking 1 bear per week and the last month we where out alot and he drink alot more is this still moderate drinking or is it more. I wish he would cunsume less of Alkohol especialy at the weekends but he dont want to change it.
