Can I Still Drink While TTC? The Real Talk on Alcohol & Fertility
Dr. Trisha Zehrung, a nurse practitioner and fertility consultant, addresses the controversial topic of alcohol consumption, tobacco, and marijuana use while trying to conceive in this episode of Fertility by Design. The discussion covers the impacts of low to moderate drinking on fertility, the importance of balanced living, and how substance use can affect both male and female fertility. She emphasizes mindful moderation, avoiding guilt, and highlights research findings. The goal is to provide realistic guidance without sacrificing social joy, and to encourage supportive habits among couples on their fertility journey.
