[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did not give up drinking while TTC, but when I was researching what damage I may have done while drinking before I knew, I read about the all or nothing stuff.  That makes me think not drinking during the period when implantation may occur seems like a good idea if you really, really want to be pregnant, but isn't important if you're concerned about developmental problems.

I don't know what research you've read, but you don't have a common blood stream with the fetus until 2 weeks after implantation, i.e. around the time of the missed period.[/quote]

There's some research to suggest that alcohol may impact sperm viability as well as early cell division. Which is what the 'all or nothing period' also suggests - because of the way cell differentiation happens, you won't cause FAS or anything by drinking during the 2WW but alcohol consumption may impact conception. Note, the only stuff I've seen relates to heavy consumption.
