Can you drink alcohol when on clomid?

Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

I know that you shouldn't drink while you are trying to conceive but I drank heavily once a week while on Clomid. My husband and I tried for almost five years to get pregnant and after being "good" for so long and nothing coming of it, I decided to do what I wanted to do as long as I knew without a shadow of a doubt that I wasn't pregnant. If I was in my two week wait, I would skip the night out.

I also want to say that while I was on Clomid, I didn't get pregnant. I gave up on the meds in June and ended up pregnant on my own!

My suggestion is this: If you want to drink while you are trying to have a baby, then go for it. I'm sure I'll get chastised for making that statement but if you are like my husband and I and have been trying for so long, you deserve to be able to "be yourself". You cannot let trying to have a baby completely dictate your life. I would suggest though that you do like I did and lay off during your two week wait. That way, if you do end up pregnant, there's no chance that you've caused any harm AND you don't have to wonder if you did anything to harm the baby.

Good luck to you on your TTC journey! I know it's a long, hard road. If you ever need someone to talk to about it, feel free to give me a shout.

Answer 12

Don't all take the moral high ground with her! She is only asking a question! For all you know, it might be someone else who is taking Clomid and she is just concerned, besides, even if she is having a drink or two at the moment, it doesn't matter if she isn't pregnant, its just dangerous to drink whilst pregnant!!!
