I’m having a few drinks tonight. I’m only a few days off from my period, so I’m not ovulating yet. Anyone conceive after drinking that night?
yes it can
i have never conceive while drinking
I’m sure lots of babies are made with the assistance of alcohol (my husband and I have jokingly referred to it as the "college girl theory" whenever I have a few drinks while ttc’ing).
You should be fine. Have fun!!!
Yes ma’ma…
i drank when i was early in pg, i didnt know i was pg of course. ALthough it can effect the un-born child and your fertility so its best to stay away. Or just drink when you have your periods
A few drinks shouldn’t affect you at all. I personally try to stay away from it… just have fun and good luck.
Due to a generally lower body weight, less body fluid (or volume of distribution), more body fat, smaller livers, and less alcohol dehydrogenase, (the enzyme which breaks down alcohol to acetaldehyde in the stomach and liver), women are advised to drink less alcohol than men.
For example, women are advised to consume only 2-3 alcoholic drinks/day (8 g) rather than 3-4 drinks/day, which is advised for men.
Also the organs and tissues of women are more susceptible to the toxic effects of alcohol and acetaldehyde.

What the Doctor says
Planning a Pregnancy
Drinking more than once or twice a week, or more than one or two drinks each time, can affect the menstrual cycle and fertility levels. It is also known that mothers are often not aware for the first few weeks that they are pregnant, hence by not drinking alcohol while trying to conceive, the risk of exposing the foetus to alcohol during the critical early development is avoided.
Drinking when pregnant
If you drink when pregnant, alcohol from the blood crosses the placenta and enters the baby’s blood.
As the foetus is still developing it takes longer for its liver to break down the alcohol, potentially exposing its organs and tissues to alcohol.
As no threshold of safe drinking when pregnant has been established, the best advice if pregnant or planning to conceive is not to drink
In the first three months, heavy drinking can damage the developing organs and nervous system.
Continued heavy drinking for the remaining six months can have the additional effects of retarding growth and development, which can lead to both behavioural and physical problems for the baby once it is born.
A good diet, sufficient fluid intake, reducing caffeine intake and not smoking during pregnancy will also help provide a healthy environment for the unborn baby
A couple of friends of mone couldn’t concieve so they tried adoption. When they found out they got hteir baby, he got a bottle of wine to celebrate. 9 months later she had their own baby boy!
YES IT DOES AFFECT GETTING PREGNANT
I would like to say that it would effect you however I would also like to say that as a teen about 99% of my friends who got pregnant at a young age conceived after a night of drinking. It may not be good for you when ttc but you can still get PG. If you know you are not ovulationg then have fun. Just be careful!!!
