We just started trying and my husband still has his weekend drinks with friends. I keep telling him to cut down but he thinks only my health matters in this. Does his drinking actually affect anything? want to show him replies.
Heavy drinking can affect fertility on his side too, not just hers. Moderation or cutting it for a few months while trying is usually advised. Best to confirm with a doctor based on his habits.
Tell him conceiving is a two player game, not just your job haha. Reducing the daru while trying actually helps on his end. Made my husband swap his evening drink for a walk, win win.
Honestly its better if he cuts back while trying. Drinking can impact sperm health, so its not just on the woman to be careful. My husband stopped heavy drinking during that phase and it felt fair.
We are also trying and I had the same question. From what I read its good if the husband reduces drinking, it can help. We both cut down together, felt nicer to do it as a team honestly.
When we were planning, the doctor advised my husband to cut down alcohol because it can affect sperm quality. He reduced it a lot and it felt like he was more involved in the process too. Worth asking your doctor for proper guidance.
