[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, for what it's worth, I did not drink during my cycle.  There have been studies that associate alcohol with lower rates of success in IVF, including one from Harvard Medical School. While I certainly know of people who drank (in moderation) their entire stim phase and got pregnant, I didn't want to risk regretting drinking if things didn't work out for us and felt that not drinking for a month wasn't going to kill me, though yes, I wanted a glass of wine - or three - multiple times.

We invested a ton of money in IVF and a ton of emotion and it was worth it for me to avoid things that might influence success.

Managing regret is the biggest thing here.  If you don't think it's an issue for you, drink.

FWIW, our Dr. at SG didn't mention avoiding drinking and only advised that I avoid any herbal medication, which was a non issue for me.

An abstract of the study:

I agree with this.  [/quote]
