Study evaluates link between caffeine, alcohol consumption and fertility treatment outcomes

A recent analysis published in Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica found no association between women's caffeine consumption and pregnancy or live birth rate after fertility treatments, but women's alcohol consumption was associated with decreased pregnancy rate after treatments when weekly consumption was greater than 84 g (approximately 7 standard drinks).
