Ep 52 To Drink or Not to Drink: All About Alcohol and Fertility

Ep 52 To Drink or Not to Drink: All About Alcohol and Fertility

We considered posting this episode on New Year's Eve, when toasting in the New Year is likely to happen, rather than New Year's Day, when many celebrants are waking up to a sore head, a fuzzy tongue, and second thoughts about that third round of shots.

It's OK to celebrate — but alcohol is a tricky question when it comes to fertility. How much is too much?

In this episode you'll hear:

[0:00] Intro

[2:20] Stopping alcohol in pregnancy message is out but what about while trying

[4:28] Research of female fertility and alcohol intake – studies resources listed below

[8:30] Research of male fertility and alcohol – studies and resources listed below

[10:44] Recap of the evidence for reproductive health

[11:23] What I tell my patients about alcohol and fertility

[14:23] Fertility Story – alcohol and fertility
