    What kind of alcohol sways pink?

    So back when I swayed in 2009 and 2011 no one was really doing alcohol to sway, at least I hadn't heard of it, but it makes a lot of sense as far as lowering fertility. I'm wondering how much alcohol and what exactly--wine, beer spirits? I like to make mixed drinks but I think all the fruit juice and high calorie mixers wouldn't help sway too much, lol. So what are y'all drinking?

    Im drinking coke zero and crown royal for the most part. Once in awhile (like one a month), I have a beer. And.... Sometimes, when I'm drinking more than usual.... Tequila shots! Yum.

    Oooh, so the two IPAs I had tonight on my first official day on LE is going to mess me up? I like to drink, so I'm glad it's okay but I guess I'll have to change things up!

    I have whatever I fancy because to me alcohol is alcohol. However if its something that you are interested in, vodka has the least nutrients of the spirits and white wine has less antioxidants than red.

    I have been drinking cosomopolitan cocktails, gin&tonic, red, white and rose wine, champagne, cava, prosecco, starting to drink cider again as it gets warmer. The only difference between now and when I conceived DS is that when I conceived DS I was drinking more as we didnt have kids so were out to dinner a lot, also he was conceived at christmas so there was lots of eating and drinking going on!! Now I only drink at the weekend.

    India Pale Ale...very light beer with lots of bitter hops.

    I'm all about the vodka sodas when I drink, which is rarely due to my meds.

    My Ovulation Chart
    currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after removìng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

    IPAs are fine, I used to worry about the B vitamins in dark beers but I now think that's overblown because after all, we need to get at least some nutrients coming in.

    I used light beer.

    I think any drinks are fine. My concern with the dark beers, red wine, and spirits mixed with juices are that there may be more nutrients in them and so the same rule applies that I use with fruits and veg - if all things are equal and you're ok with a lower nutrient beverage then great. If you're dying for a Guiness, then go for it.

    Light beer, lagers, white wine, spirits with soda are best, I think.
