An old myth (with much truth to it) is that you don't consume oysters during months that end in R.Actually, that's backwards. You're traditionally not supposed to eat them in June, July or August (the only months without Rs).

An old myth (with much truth to it) is that you don't consume oysters during months that end in R.Post #17: You're supposed to eat oysters only in months with Rs. September is a month with an R. So this shouldn't be a problem.
