I didn't know that an ovarian cyst may prevent a pregnancy...I'm glad you had the surgery. Something worked, that's for sure! Lucy ~ there are so many factors that go into fertility and getting pregnant, it's almost impossible to say what impact alcohol as. But, in the research I've done about the causes of female infertility, I've never seen evidence that drinking does harm. As you said, you'll need to stop drinking when you're trying to get pregnant. Since drinking too much alcohol isn't good for your overall health, I think it's smart to abide by the Mayo Clinic's guidelines. They say one drink a day for women is fine (especially red wine!). I hope this helps. Blessings, Laurie Sarah ~ thanks for sharing your experience here! I didn’t know that an ovarian cyst may prevent a pregnancy…I’m glad you had the surgery.

I'm worried that his has affected my fertility and I won't be able to get pregnant in the future. I have pretty irregular periods but I have come on and off hormonal birth control for a long time. I know that when I am trying to conceive I must cut the alcohol out all together for months before but I don't really want to give up now. Is it so bad in my youth? (I'm 25 now) Would be really grateful if someone could shed some light on this. I was wondering something – I love a drink, I partied throughout my youth, pretty heavily.

I worked with infertility specialists most of that time, using fertility drugs and trying artificial insemination one time. My husband and I went through every diagnostic test, and the only thing found essentially was a small ovarian cyst. I went in for surgery to have it removed but the surgeon ended up not removing it because he said it was inside the ovary (not outside) and he didn't want to risk my fertility any further. A year later, I insisted on having the cyst removed. Two months after the surgery I got pregnant. The fertility specialist said we'll never know if it was due to the dermoid cyst being removed, but I believe it was. I tried for about 3 years before I finally got pregnant with my 2nd child.
