I don't think a little bit of caffeine is a big deal so I don't plan on changing my habits during pregnancy either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-coffee-in-tww#post-933005 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 15:17:29 +0000 fussygal 933005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drink a cup a day, sometimes two, normally and I don't change that during the TWW. I do stop drinking though. I'm just too paranoid! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-coffee-in-tww#post-932964 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 15:07:40 +0000 deactivated_account 932964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've not held back drinking wine or champagne during my TWW. I've arbitrarily stopped drinking vokda or other hard alcohol thought. </p> <p>As a side note... I was taking Mucinex for a while because I've had a horrible summer cold/cough. I woke up freaked out that Mucinex might be horrible to taking while TTC and was soooooo suprised to learn that people actually take Mucinex to help them conceive.... This world of TTC is so weird.. Hahaha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-coffee-in-tww#post-925102 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 21:55:11 +0000 Vegmama 925102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: I did! But, right after implantation, coffee was acting as a major diuretic, and I weaned myself to keep from getting dehydrated. I tried drinking a cup this week (14 weeks preg), and puked! Ugh. So sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-coffee-in-tww#post-923603 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 16:00:08 +0000 littlek 923603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drank alcohol until I got my BFP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-coffee-in-tww#post-923587 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 15:57:24 +0000 mlm2934 923587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: yea ill be stopping as soon as BFP - way too nervous after last MC. Maybe reintroduce in second tri :)</p> <p>@Happygal: yikes! Yea I could never be a holistic type :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-coffee-in-tww#post-923569 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 15:53:01 +0000 Freckles 923569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: I drank a LOT of coffee. Honestly, the first two days were rough but after that i was actually okay. I only starting drinking caffeinated coffee a couple of months ago. So that's almost two years without coffee! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-coffee-in-tww#post-923490 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 15:33:29 +0000 Happygal 923490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: cold turkey? Gasp. Was it awful, or surprisingly not so bad?</p> <p>I can't imagine a morning without coffee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-coffee-in-tww#post-923449 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 15:26:49 +0000 luckypenny 923449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sure hope so.... lol I NEED my coffee </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-coffee-in-tww#post-923444 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 15:25:20 +0000 delight 923444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drank coffee throughout my pregnancy, except for a few weeks when I was feeling nauseous. My doctor says its completely fine to have a couple cups. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-coffee-in-tww#post-923441 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 15:24:22 +0000 MrsH 923441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't drink any caffeine but did have some adult beverages. Since then coffee has sounded horrible so it hasn't been an issue. (I drank 5 cups a day before TTC) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-coffee-in-tww#post-923430 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 15:22:03 +0000 T.H.O.U. 923430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Caffeine I wouldn't worry about. Especially just 3 cups. I drank caffeine in moderation during pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-coffee-in-tww#post-923423 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 15:19:34 +0000 Ash 923423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had caffeine until I tested positive... and maybe the next day too. :X </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-coffee-in-tww#post-923398 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 15:14:50 +0000 doxielove 923398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Drink til it's pink!! Do you know how much of a crazy lady I would be if I'd given up coffee during the TWW these past 7 cycles? Oh man! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-coffee-in-tww#post-923394 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 15:13:41 +0000 PurplePeony 923394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't worry about it, but I'm a one-cup-in-the-morning kind of gal. If I was drinking more than that, I might try to go for half-caf and eventually decaf (or cut out) the subsequent cups -- mainly to try to cut down on caffeine withdrawal when the time comes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-coffee-in-tww#post-923381 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 15:10:47 +0000 Freckles 923381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drank coffee during the TWW, but i actually went cold turkey after i found out i was pregnant. I had miscarried with my previous pregnancy, and didn't want to blame myself for anything i *may* have done. I think i would've been fine, but it was difficult to gauge how much coffee i was actually drinking so i stopped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-coffee-in-tww#post-923332 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 15:02:39 +0000 Mrs. Polish 923332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say drink til it's pink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-coffee-in-tww#post-923329 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 15:02:20 +0000 heffalump 923329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor said to keep with my normal life. I'm not a coffee drinker but I take a lot of prescription meds for migraines, and I was told to keep taking those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-coffee-in-tww#post-923320 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 15:01:04 +0000 Torchwood 923320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unfortunately, yes, from what I've read, caffeine can reduce your chances of successfully getting pregnant. It has to be in relatively high amounts though. One cup I wouldn't worry about. Each successive one... well, I wouldn't do it, but I don't know really how much of a difference it makes? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-coffee-in-tww#post-923258 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:49:50 +0000 mrs. 64 923258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I worried about caffeine at first. This past TWW I just didn't care. I really don't think it's that big of a deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-coffee-in-tww#post-923257 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:49:48 +0000 Foodnerd81 923257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cut back on coffee even before TTC because I was worried about having withdrawal headaches if I cut back while I was pregnant. In the 1st trimester I could not stomach the smell of coffee at all, so I'm glad I'd weaned myself down already. But the one off extra cup I wouldn't worry about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-coffee-in-tww#post-923253 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:49:20 +0000 Happygal 923253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, coffee is my weakness. I always say I'm going to cut back each cycle, and I guess I have by a little, but not that much. I would think the same guidelines would apply in the TWW as for pregnancy.</p> <p>By the way, I read in some holistic type of book that they said that coffee can also make your vagina too acidic for sperm. They recommended not only stopping drinking coffee, but also doing a baking soda douche. There is a line that I will not cross, and that is definitely it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-coffee-in-tww#post-923251 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:48:50 +0000 LovelyPlum 923251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah...I drank coffee and wine during both my TWWs. My doctor said nothing I did, coffee, wine, etc, caused the mcs. Honestly, I only stopped coffee when it made me nauseous, so about three days after my bfp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-coffee-in-tww#post-923247 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:48:06 +0000 mlm2934 923247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: like it!
