Even moderate drinking may disrupt a woman's odds of getting pregnant, new research suggests.

, the study, begun in 2017, looked at alcohol and fecundability -- that is, the chance of becoming pregnant in a single menstrual cycle. It analyzed data from 413 women, ages 19 to 41, who completed daily diaries on alcohol intake, including the number of drinks and type for a maximum of 19 months of follow-up. Participants were mainly white, non-Hispanic, and married with some college education.

During the study, 133 women became pregnant, and outcomes showed an effect of alcohol -- the more alcohol a woman drank, the less chance she had of conceiving. “Among heavy drinkers, the probability of conceiving was 27.2%, rising to 41.3% in nondrinkers. Light and moderate drinkers both had about a 32% chance of conceiving,” Taylor says.

When the researchers looked at the effect of drinking alcohol during different phases of the menstrual cycle, they found that moderate and in the post-ovulation phase reduced the odds of conception by nearly half , compared with nondrinkers. There was also some suggestion that heavy drinking before ovulation was also tied to reduced likelihood of conception.? Notably, each extra day of excessive intake over a short period was associated with a 19% reduction in conception around the time of ovulation and between ovulation and menstruation. But it didn’t seem to have an effect early in the cycle, before ovulation.
