Is alcohol allowed?
Consuming alcohol in moderation (1-2 drinks per day) is usually acceptable until 2-3 days prior to egg retrieval, but abstaining entirely can also be a good option. While there’s limited research specifically examining the effects of alcohol consumption on IVF success rates, some studies suggest that moderate alcohol intake may not significantly impact IVF outcomes, whereas heavy alcohol consumption may be associated with reduced success rates. This time can be an excellent opportunity to focus on optimizing your overall health and healthier lifestyle habits.
