Now that we're TTC I'm going down to one every day and once we conceive I'm hoping to stop all together but we'll see :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-caffeine-do-you-drink-while-ttc/page/2#post-56720 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 07:02:07 +0000 sylvie_b 56720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pepper: mmm...sweet tea :)</p> <p>I'm not a big coffee gal but LOVE tea. Earl grey, green, peppermint, chai....and the vanilla roobios tea at starbucks is the prego drink of choice at work and is pretty yummy. As long as I have my 1 cup a day I'll be a happy gal :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-caffeine-do-you-drink-while-ttc/page/2#post-55559 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 20:27:24 +0000 Pepper 55559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm really sensitive to caffeine in general, but I still have my half-calf latte in the AM and sweet tea in the afternoon :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-caffeine-do-you-drink-while-ttc#post-55420 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 14:13:50 +0000 LuLu Mom 55420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am in the process of quitting caffeine, I'm not a coffee drinker but I am a pop drinker, and usually have 1 can in the morning and 1 fountain in the afternoon. This is my last week of any caffeine. this was our first month of TCC, but I think I messed up my O dates and we might have missed it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-caffeine-do-you-drink-while-ttc#post-54416 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 09:58:02 +0000 plantains 54416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Good luck!

I will have a cup of coffee every few days, if that, if I am craving one. Instead I will drink naturally decaf green tea which seems to help with the "routine" part of it in the morning...here is the article:<br /> <a href="http://www.babyzone.com/preconception/getting_pregnant/article/caffeine-and-fertility" rel="nofollow">http://www.babyzone.com/preconception/getting_pregnant/article/caffeine-and-fertility</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-caffeine-do-you-drink-while-ttc#post-54144 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 17:57:38 +0000 hilsy85 54144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: yeah true...I guess i'm at that point in my cycle (cd2!) where I'm bored and trying to figure out things I can do to change it up in the hopes that this cycle gets me a bfp :) We'll see how strong my willpower to give up coffee is in the morning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-caffeine-do-you-drink-while-ttc#post-54092 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 17:16:17 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 54092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: agreed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-caffeine-do-you-drink-while-ttc#post-54089 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 17:13:12 +0000 winniebee 54089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: I think it's like anything else...they "say" to be careful about decaf, caffeine, lunch meat, fish, runny eggs, and the list goes on and on.

Actually..I had a margarita the night before I got a bfp! doh..but I think it's okay.</p> <p>I have not been drinking any caffeine yet (only 4 weeks along) because I'm paranoid. I have a dr appt at 8 weeks and I'll check in how much I'm allowed then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-caffeine-do-you-drink-while-ttc#post-53997 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 15:40:31 +0000 plantains 53997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: During TTC, I didn't change my coffe or alcohol consumption at all. I have only ever been a one cup of coffee a day type of person anyway. Now that I'm pregnant, my doctor says one cup of coffee a day is fine, but I ususally have a coke instead. She also told me to skip the decaf coffee, but she said naturally decaffeinated earl grey tea was fine. Something about the chemicals used in teh decaffienation process? </p> <p>Either way, I kind of don't see the point in giving up coffee during TTC especially since you only drink 1 cup a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-caffeine-do-you-drink-while-ttc#post-53983 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 15:34:56 +0000 Rescuemom10 53983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have gone down to just my morning coffee. Every now and again I have a pop. We never keep pop in our house so I never had it much anyways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-caffeine-do-you-drink-while-ttc#post-53967 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 15:23:37 +0000 mrskc 53967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drink one cup of coffee in the morning. And sometimes iced tea at lunch or dinner. I used to drink a lot more, but I cut back. I don't want to go through withdrawal headaches again so I'm sticking to my one cup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-caffeine-do-you-drink-while-ttc#post-53895 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 14:34:04 +0000 yoursilverlining 53895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: This is what my doctor said too. She said a smallish coffee a day (or soda, or tea or whatever your vice is) is fine, even to have every day. Totally within allowable limits.</p> <p>@Hillsy85: There are some charts online which list out the caffeine content of different beverages too, which might be helpful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-caffeine-do-you-drink-while-ttc#post-53865 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 14:14:36 +0000 hilsy85 53865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: oh interesting ...in that case maybe i'll just try to wean myself off coffee in general. Thanks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-caffeine-do-you-drink-while-ttc#post-53862 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 14:10:29 +0000 MrsLilybugg 53862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am trryyiiing to limit myself because I drink way too much caffeine. I think I border on the 200mg per day limit but could easily go over some days. Today I had a Tazo Awake tea in the morning. And I just got a caffeine-free diet coke (boo, aspartame) to drink with my lunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-caffeine-do-you-drink-while-ttc#post-53854 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 14:03:46 +0000 winniebee 53854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: My doctor actually advised me not to drink decaf coffee or tea while pregnant....something about the way that it is processed. Instead, she said the better option is to drink caffeine w/in allowable limits. I think the takeaway from this is every doctor is different, so check with yours before you decide what to do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-caffeine-do-you-drink-while-ttc#post-53847 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 13:58:55 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 53847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drink decaf coffee now instead of regular. I only drink one or two cups a week. I do drink Dr. Pepper a couple times a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-caffeine-do-you-drink-while-ttc#post-53842 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 13:56:55 +0000 Mrs.VW 53842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh and I drink Green Tea too - just CD 1 - O. I forgot about that :) to helps with CM, but like Mrs. GG said, maybe I should stop?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-caffeine-do-you-drink-while-ttc#post-53835 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 13:53:37 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 53835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently quit caffeine although I still occasionally drink decaf or green tea when I really want it.</p> <p>I just read a recent article that talked about caffeine interfering with ovulation. I can't find it at the moment, but I'll check some of my other posts.</p> <p>I react very strongly to caffeine so even though I would only have one a day max, I figured since I feel it more than a normal person, maybe it's also affecting me more...so I'm trying without. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-caffeine-do-you-drink-while-ttc#post-53820 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 13:46:47 +0000 Mrs.VW 53820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a pop or coffee a day is ok. I've been not having pop, more for health reasons than TTC. I could really go for a nice warm fat free latte today though! BRR! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-caffeine-do-you-drink-while-ttc#post-53803 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 13:38:23 +0000 obxwife 53803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried to limit my caffeine during my first trimester (we never TTC, accident baby!) but I was so sick up until 22 weeks that the only thing that would settle my stomach most days was a Coke. I would let myself have one every few days and now that I'm in my third trimester, I'll allow myself a cup of coffee/coke every other day or so. I try not to drink more than ONE in a day but I won't lie, sometimes a girl needs a second Coke. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-caffeine-do-you-drink-while-ttc#post-53792 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 13:21:15 +0000 kml636 53792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I swapped green tea for Coffee most days, but occasionally still had 1 cup of coffee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-caffeine-do-you-drink-while-ttc#post-53745 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 12:49:43 +0000 hilsy85 53745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hm ok so it seems like most ppl drink some. That's a bit of a relief :) I might try to do decaf, since I think a big thing of it for me is the habit of having coffee. Its part of my morning routine. So maybe ill try decaf instead and see if that works. I also don't like the feeling of being dependent on something so I wouldn't mind breaking the habit. </p>
