I've been on the caffeine-free habit since August when preparing for my fresh cycle. We had an unexpected freeze-all and since October I've been waiting for my FET. Perhaps understandably, I've gotten a little lax on the caffeine rule but I'll drop it again once I start BCPs. Fortunately, I don't miss coffee so much. It's a wonderful thing but it messes with my stomach and my sleep patterns....but I do miss tea which can have quite a bit of caffeine itself. Raspberry tea is my go-to right now but it's not the same. </p> <p>Hoping your embie is burrowing down and you get to have your caffeine back somewhere down the road soon! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-caffeine#post-2365799 Sat, 21 Nov 2015 17:07:39 +0000 MrsKRB 2365799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dr said to limit to 1 small cup daily, but I just abstained. Better be safe than sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-caffeine#post-2365777 Sat, 21 Nov 2015 15:45:00 +0000 GreenThumb 2365777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pinky: Congratulations on your transfer!! As for the caffeine, yes, it stinks, but I've been trying to cut back in anticipation of my IVF in January. I agree… worth it! :goodluck: :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-caffeine#post-2365776 Sat, 21 Nov 2015 15:42:54 +0000 Mrs. Pinky 2365776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you, ladies.... not worth the risk. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-caffeine#post-2365768 Sat, 21 Nov 2015 15:29:45 +0000 DesertDreams88 2365768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To me, there's too much money and "pain" with IVF to risk going against the directions. I didn't have to go through IVF myself, but I significantly limited caffeine in the first trimester and I quit cold turkey 4 weeks ago at 28 weeks when they found that my baby has a heart arrhythmia. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-caffeine#post-2365767 Sat, 21 Nov 2015 15:29:16 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2365767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't remember if they told me to abstain from caffeine after my transfer. I didn't drink any until after I got out of the first trimester though. Then I would have a small coffee or soda a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-caffeine#post-2365762 Sat, 21 Nov 2015 15:12:42 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2365762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first two pregnancies I got pregnant the cycles I quit coffee. I have no idea if that was what did it, but there ya go.</p> <p>I think I've read that there is a slight increase in miscarriage risk with increased caffeine consumption.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-caffeine#post-2365760 Sat, 21 Nov 2015 14:59:56 +0000 Golden 2365760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could never. But if you do I wish you luck! I can't comment on the reasons why they would recommend this, but I would call and ask and weigh the risks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-caffeine#post-2365759 Sat, 21 Nov 2015 14:59:17 +0000 FaithFertility 2365759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was on my IUI paper work to abstain from caffeine too.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-caffeine#post-2365754 Sat, 21 Nov 2015 14:53:40 +0000 Mrs. Pinky 2365754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My discharge instructions after my embryo transfer suggests I abstain from alcohol and caffeine...the alcohol, ok. Fine. But caffeine? I only drink a small cup in the morning--thoughts? </p>
