I've been trying to conceive for a couple months now and haven't had any luck. I decided I wasn't going to stress myself out and not think about it and act and live as normal as possible. My period is due on the 14th and now I'm worried because I had a couple alcoholic drinks this weekend, I didn't get drunk, but I did drink about four to five beers. I also like drinking herbal teas such as dietary supplements I'm not drinking them anymore, but I did drink them for about a week in this month. I just want to get opinions I'm a little worried that if I am pregnant it could affect my baby.

stop worring. Your baby will be fine. Hope you are pregnant. you sound like you would be a good mom,, and care about your child. You would have to drink every day or take drugs on a regular basis for your child to have problems. even then I have seen some kids come out ok.

Don't worry too much, we all do this. I got drunk on New Year's (well it doesn't take much to get me drunk, I only smell a beer and feel whobbly) - the doctors told me I'd never conceive again, so even though I felt pregnant, I thought it was just my body acting up.
A lot of women don't know they're pregnant and have a couple of drinks in the first few weeks. I asked my doctor and he said loads of women do it... it won't have any long-term effect on the baby, unless you make a habit of drinking during pregnancy.
So just relax and enjoy the ride :)

Even if you do get pg this cycle the egg hasn't even implanted yet so you are just fine. Things can only get to the baby after it has implanted in the uterus and that happens 6-12 days after ovulation and since your period is due the 14th then you are probably about 5-6 days past ovulation. You're fine.

JUST STOP DRINKING! all of that can affect the baby or your ABILITY TO HAVE A BABY! c'mon u can do this. just make the decision for u and the baby and all to NOT DRINK ANYMORE till after the baby.
its like saying.... my brother has asthma... but i smoke ONCE IN A WHILE IN THE HOUSE..... if u care about the brother then don't smoke in the house.
i'm sorry i don't mean to come off angry or assualtive. i mean it totally light-hearted!
and as far as ALREADY drinking...don't worry! just do the better thing from now on not just for u but for baby. find those motherly instincts! i've seen mom's do amazing things when their baby is threatened. take care!

no ...that won't be a problem. i'd say just stop drinking if you want to conceive, but heck, many women conceive after a drunken night. anyway, just relax, stop the alcohol and herbals, and in due time you'll get your bundle. i can tell you one thing, one reason why many women don't conceive when they "try" is because they are bent outta shape over it. relax and enjoy sex, have a romantic evening and don't think about it, you are too nervous to relax and enjoy the sex. if you would just RELAX, that is the key.
good luck

First I would not worry. Your baby is probably fine. If your not pregnant..no big deal. However, if you are trying to conceive why are you drinking alcohol and herbal teas??? You should be taking extra good care of yourself and taking folate.

Years ago people used to drink all the time during pregnancy and it turned out OK. Don't worry too much about it.

If you are pregnant the baby will be fine but I would suggest not drinking anymore. It isn't safe to do it repeatedly

You are fine...even if you managed to conceieve this month the egg hasn't even implanted itself yet. So stop doing alchol and herbal teas will you know for sure.
