Did you still drink alcohol when trying to conceive? Did it stop you from getting pregnant?

We were TTC for 2+ years… the first 6 months I lived completely normal and I ate and drank whatever I wanted, the next 12 - 18 months, I completely cut out alcohol, caffeine and all unhealthy food. I only ate healthy fats and lots of vegetables and basically just water. It didn’t seem to help at all and I didn’t even lose/gain any weight. When I was on my fourth cycle of Clomid after being with our new infertility clinic for 6 months, I decided that there’s no point cutting anything out anymore, as I started to think that it’s likely we won’t ever have a baby, so I began drinking alcohol and coffee again (fairly regularly), and one of my first pregnancy symptoms was that I poured my friend and I a glass of wine and it smelt horrible… I tested the next day and I was 5-6 weeks pregnant! I obviously went cold turkey as soon as I found out, but my doctor said it definitely didn’t worsen or cure my infertility 🤍
