A member asked:
Does alcohol effect fertility? i am trying to conceive but i figured since i'm on my period it wouldn't hurt plus i haven't drank in 4 months

It can: More than moderate drinking has been demonstrated to decrease fertility. I would at least encourage you to keep consumption to at most 1 drink/day but consider decreasing it to even less. There really isn't any great data suggesting that alcohol helps with fertility. And definitely considering stopping consumption if and when you're pregnant. Best of luck.
