I drank up until my BFP, too.

Can't emphasize enough that craft beer is very specifically the alcohol I was trying to "get in as much as possible" before getting pregnant... now I'm sad thinking I'm going to have to go without after my baby girl is born to try and get a boy!!

I feel you. I've become quite the wine drinker since we had our last son. I'm not looking forward to going without it for nearly a year! Of course, a baby makes it worth it but.... I sure do love my wine lol

(Oops, just saw your follow up post!)

:agree: I meant including the 100k or millions of years prior to that, when we were cavemen, Lucies, and Lemurs. :)

So is it important to drink alcohol during your diet or during TTC?

I believe it is a good sway tactic and I do encourage anyone who is able to, to give it a whirl.
