My husband and I have been trying for 2 months now to get pregnant. If last week was my ovulating week, is it still OK to drink? I would be taking a pregnancy test in about a week and a half if I don't get my period. I know it is not safe to drink while you are pregnant, but what about before you find out? I know drinking can effect my chances of getting pregnant, but I want to know if it could affect the baby itself?

The occasional drink is not going to be an issue. Fertilization is not instantaneous and then it takes several days before implantation occurs. If you want to be ubersafe, than refrain from having any, but you needn't worry if you did.
