I was a 2 cup a morning dark brew coffee drinker but have switched to decaf for the first trimester. (Second cant get here fast enough!)
First off decaf of my usual brand does not taste as good, boo. But just wondering if anyone feels like they get a pick me up from decaf? I don't, but I drank a lot of dark coffee before. Missing my caffeine!

I couldn't drink any coffee at all after 6 weeks-- the smell just disgusted me! Around 12-13 weeks I started drinking a little bit of regular or half caf and I don't taste much of a difference in the two. I don't get a pick me up from decaf though.

I do. I switched completely to decaf while TTC. I used to drink a lot of caffeinated coffee and the decaf seems to give me the same boost.

No pick me up from decaf since it's missing the caffeine, but I noticed if I don't dilute my full bodied caffeine coffee with decaf now, I'll get get headaches. This wasn't an issue pre-BFP.

I totally do, but i'm pretty sensitive to caffeine. Maybe you will be after awhile off of the real stuff? Decaf espresso tastes a lot better than coffee. Another trick: put 3/4 decaf, 1/4 good or flavored coffee....tastes much better.

Nah, I just add a bit of the regular stuff if I want a pick me up, otherwise the decaf is just for flavor/habit.
