I sure didn't.  If the transfer didn't take, I never wanted to second-guess whether my actions had had a negative effect.  You make this choice over and over during pregnancy ... on anything that can affect your body to the possible detriment of your potential baby, you just to have to decide whether you would feel it was your fault in the event things don't go right.  In the 2ww, an embryo can implant in the first few days or as late as day 10, so you really can't be sure what effect alcohol in your system will have.

I had a couple drinks during my 2 week wait and I still got pregnant. It's really up to you but if you are using a donor just coming from a financial aspect I don't know if I would want to take any risks and then have to try again
