TTC Suplements, vitamins, alcohol intake.

Hello everyone, I had a TFMR end of January this year because of T21 at almost 16 weeks and I’ve been battling between trying and not trying again to have child. I have no living children and it was my first pregnancy.

I didn’t take any supplements or folic acid with my first baby and we did drink two or three glasses of wine or à spritz on weekends, both my husband and I, so I’m scared it somehow affected something even though every doctor we saw said it didn’t have anything to do with it. I also was really stressed at work and that also makes me wonder… so now I’m trying to do everything better, no stress at work, supplements, folic acid, I’m considering taking CoQ10 as well… I exercise, I eat way better.

I have almost stopped drinking because I want to do everything possible to prevent something bad from happening again, but last week I was invited to a colleague’s gathering and I had three glasses of wine and then I we went on a trip on Sunday and my husband and I and I had a beer. My husband is having a couple of beers on weekends every weekend so I’m scared it will also affect DNA fragmentation on his sperm.

My question is, for your new pregnancy, did you do something different? Did it work?
