Since having baby #1, I drink more coffee now then ever and I can't stop ! I am just wondering if anyone actually stopped drinking coffee while ttc and thinks it made a difference ? OR, if anyone did not stop drinking coffee and got prego with no problem ?

I quit drinking coffee before our second cycle TTC. We got a BFP that cycle.
ETA: I used to drink a LOT of coffee. Like 4-5 cups a day.
-
I've never been a big coffee or soda drinker. I drink some occasionally and didn't quit while TTC, but I doubt it was enough to make a difference.
-
I didn't change my caffeine intake while TTC, like artbee, I don't think I drink enough for it to cause that much of an impact.
-
I cut way back on my caffeine intake while TTC. I drank it all: coffee, tea, soda, etc.
I don't know if it made a huge difference, but we got pregnant relatively quickly (5 months)
-
i quit coffee and cut down on soda during the middle of our 4th cycle of TTC and got pregnant the 5th cycle so i think it might've played a factor. i wasn't a huge drinker though, just 1-2 cups of coffee a day and 1 soda every day.
-
I drank coffee before I got pregnant. Drank decaf while nursing and before I got pregnant with #2 too!
-
I only drank maybe a cup of coffee a week before pregnancy, so I didn't stop while TTC.
-
i drank coffee regularly, but only 1-2 cups a day so not really enough to effect anything from what i've read. don't drink much/any now just due to my own tastes changing and wanting more water! i still have tea and coffee every now and again though.
-
I have spurts where I drink coffee (short at starbucks) daily for a week then I don't for a couple weeks. I'm not a big soda drinker so I haven't really been monitoring my intake. This is our second month of TTC.
-
I quit Diet Coke (drank it for breakfast instead of coffee, don't judge me!) once we started ttc...I'm not preggo yet so I can't offer any insight as to whether it had any effect or not but I figured it couldn't hurt and it was a good incentive to actually stop drinking it, which I've tried on and off to do for a few years!
-
I cut back this time around, just a tea in the morning instead of 2-4 cups of coffee daily. The first time I didn't, but since I mc'd that pregnancy I am SUPER paranoid about everything now. Like I wonder if the 5 cups of coffee on Saturday and Sunday morning messed up implantation or something. I dunno. Probably not but I don't want to take any chances this time!!!
-
I'm not a coffee drinker but do drink soda and tea. I cut back on them while TTC but I didn't totally cut them out. I haven't totally cut them out since getting pregnant either so I'm obviously not too concerned about it.
-
I drank two huge cups of coffee every morning and only stopped once I got pregnant. It only took us two tries to get pregnant so the caffeine doesn't seem to have affected us.
-
I have seriously cut back on coffee while TTC. I only have it on days I neeeeeeed a cup. Maybe, one cup, every other week? No BFP yet, this is my first cycle doing it.
-
I drank about 10 ounces of coffee a day, I have probably done this since I was in my early 20's, so I didn't stop while TTC. I don't think the caffeine has any effect on me anymore anyway.
-
When I did accupunture I was advised to stop drinking coffee - not because of the caffeine (I already drank exclusively decaf), but because coffee makes your body more acidic, which creates an environment that is difficult for sperm to live in. Who knows if it played a role, but I conceived within two months of eliminating all but my Friday morning cup.
-
I cut back over the months before we started TTC from nearly 3 cups a day to 1. I got KU the first cycle we tried, who knows if that had anything to do with it.
