Alcohol and IVF Success Rates

Alcohol consumption can negatively impact IVF success rates. Studies have shown that drinking more than four drinks per week before an IVF cycle is associated with:
  • A 48% higher risk of failed fertilization
  • A 21% lower chance of a live birth
  • A 13% decrease in the number of eggs retrieved
  • An 18% greater odds of failed implantation
  • A 26% reduced chance of a baby
Drinking up to one alcoholic drink per day while undergoing treatment does not affect success rates. However, as a patient approaches IUI or egg retrieval, it is recommended to cease all alcohol intake due to possible risks to the early embryo and fetus. It is ideal to stop/reduce alcohol consumption for at least three months before attempting pregnancy.
