Need your advice, is it okay if my husband drinks beer or alcohol when I'm trying to get pregnant? If conception happens during this time, I'm afraid it will harm my baby.

How much is he drinking? I googles a few articles. I think you may find this one helpful. Alcohol in moderation shouldn't cause a problem. Excessive alcohol consumption probably will though. Although, if you're trying to get pregnant with a man who is drinking in excess often enough to prevent you from being able to get pregnant I would have to question your judgement. I also noticed you said "when i'm trying to get pregnant." seeing as if you do get pregnant, you'll be bringing an entire new little person into the world, a pretty huge commitment, it's very important that the father is involved in the decision. Are you BOTH trying for a baby?

If he's drinking moderate amounts (not over doing it) his sperm count and your baby shouldn't have any ill effects.
This would be a good question for your doctor as well. Everyone is different and if you've been trying a long while (1 year) without results, fertility testing is generally recommended.

He drinks 2 or 3 bottles everyday. And we first met each other in 2007, and we got to know each other first and then got in engaged and then got married in 2008. And we've had sex since 2007 until 2010, and I can't get pregnant at all. I think I've got a major problem...

Is this 2 or 3 bottles of beer or 2 or 3 bottles of something harder like vodka? Have you talked with your dr yet? You may have some fertility problems, or it could be him. Only a dr could help you determine which it is.
