Red Wine ok while TTC?

In short, DH and I have been through numerous IUI and 2 IVF which both have ended in miscarriage by the 6th week.  I'm going to be taking a break from treatments and wanted to know if drinking red wine is ok? I'm not talking about numerous glasses a night, maybe just a glass a couple of times a week.  We aren't going to stop TTC naturally, but wanted to add red wine into my diet since I hear it has such awesome health benefits. Hoping I do become pregnant one day, my plan is not to continue to drink wine during my pregnancy, but since I'm going to be taking a break at this point from infertility treatments and there is that rare chance I can become pregnant on my own, was just curious if I should add red wine to my diet.  Your suggestions and comments are welcome!

Thanks!

My belief is that it's fine to drink - not to excess, mind you - even while TTC....until you get that BFP.  So....enjoy :-)

Good luck :-)

There are benefits to drinking wine...I would say drink up! Excessive is not good but you already know that so yes...it can even loosen you up and relax you a little more...maybe taking those TTC stresses away!!
