Hi everyone, I'm new here and so glad I found this forum. I've been searching for weeks for some answers and hopefully some of you can help me out.
Have any of you cut back on the drinking and tried to get pregnant? Did you have a difficult time? What did the doctors say?
I'm a heavy drinker, but have significantly cut back and my goal is to eliminate it completely. I am wondering how much damage I have done and how difficult it will be for me. I've heard that about 120 days of absitence will reverse the effects that would cause issues, but I can't seem to get that far. I'll do well for a few weeks, then go out and drink for a week, then cut it out again. Many would say I'm not ready, but I think I am and I'm not getting any younger (31). I have to use ART (assisted reproduction) and we've tried already 5 times. I didn't drink a drop during our tries from the day of my period to the day of the pregnancy test. But all results are negative.
