We want to start trying in couple of months and my husband drinks occasionally on weekends. I read somewhere it can affect things from his side too. Did your husbands cut it down before planning?
Definitely worth cutting back. It's not only the woman who needs to prep, the man's health matters for conception too. Reducing alcohol, eating well and sleeping properly all help on his side.
Most advice says reducing or stopping alcohol before conceiving improves sperm health, so it's a sensible step. Your husband can chat with the doctor about it too. Both partners staying healthy gives the best chance.
Yes it's a good idea. Our doctor told my husband alcohol can affect sperm quality, so he cut down a few months before we tried. Healthy sperm takes about 2-3 months to form, so stopping early helps.
Yeah ideally he should ease up on it for a few months, it really does help. Dont stress too much though, just get him onto a healthier routine overall. Good food and sleep matter as much as cutting drinks.
