Him and alcohol....

[shootingstar22]

Hi all!

So I am not yet ttc but will be in about 5 months! Yay

Anyway my fiancé has a couple of beers every night, and when the football is on he has quite a few more followed by a glass of whiskey. My other half also likes his strong teas and coffees!

Anyway my question is will the above really affect us ttc? I have read that alcohol can affect his zinc levels and cause abnormal sperm and a low sperm count. Have also read that both men and women work on a 3 month cycle I.e you do ttc diets 3 months before you start so that you have good eggs and spermies!

Have any ladies found it harder to fall pregnant because of alcohol, or Is there no real difference?

My fiancé is 28 abd I am 24 so we should still be pretty fertile! Well I hope I am anyway- that's a big fear for me!

My hubby used to like a few beers on a weekend and we would drink a bottle of wine most evenings. That's all stopped since I've spent the past few years either being pregnant or breastfeeding!! We conceived 2nd cycle last time and 1st cycle this time and we're older than you. I think it can be a problem but if you are generally fit and healthy it probably wont be

my hubby likes his beer every night or every other night and so far it hasnt effected us and he likes his tea too so should be ok specially at your ages
