I know that different doctors have different opinions on this and some have differing opinions depending on what treatment you are receiving. My RE has never had an issue with me having a small amount of caffeine during TWW. I have never gone through IVF so I am not sure if his opinion would change then, but he doesn't have an issue with it during IUI cycles. He said a coffee or a soda isn't going to do anything, but I shouldn't drink caffeine in excess.

My doctor says 1 cup of caffeine per day during pregnancy is fine (online I've read that up to 200mg is okay, which is more than that) so id go for it! I didn't cut caffeine or alcohol during the tww at all, fwiw

I had caffeine as well! I think one can of Dr. Pepper has such minimal caffeine that it won't be an issue!

I didn't change anything, mostly because we had an oops baby. But I would have the drink if you want it.

I think you'd be fine! I would be more concerned about the sugar levels but if its your splurge item, go for it!

@Leialou: so excited to see this post. Fingers crossed for you.

I've been wondering this myself. I've done many tww's that I didn't drink caffeine and now I'm kinda over it until I get a bfp! Giving up my diet dr pepper is so hard!

I personally cut out all caffeine beginning with my TWW. I think it's harmless though, it was just a personal decision. When I got pregnant, the fatigue with no caffeine combo nearly killed me. Took weeks to get adjusted. I was a heavy coffee drinker before.

Good luck!

@SupernovaJ: ughhhh yes, I'm dragging butt with no caffeine I could only imagine being prego too.... hope I do find out. ..lol

Whoo-hoo

I drank everything until that stick turned pink, and still have my daily caffeine while pregnant. I could not function without a little bit!
