Hello everyone this is my first post :), i have had a few questions, my husband and i are trying to conceive,so i was wondering what tea is healthy to drink, i have been wanting something hot every morning because i was so used to coffee, but i don't want any since i'm trying for a baby, plus i got prenatal vitamins and they are the vitafusion gummies, i was wondering how many to take a day?

Hi and welcome!
I'm not much of a tea drinker so I'm no help there. I used to take the Vitafusion gummies and I think the recommended dose is two a day. Definitely check what it says on the bottle because I'm no doctor!
Good luck TTC!
-
I take 2 vitafusion gummies a day plus a DHA supplement (target brand). Those gummies are yummy!
-
Welcome! I haven't worried much about tea, though I'm not a huge tea drinker. You could always drink hot chocolate though! As for the vitamins, definitely follow the package and make sure you're getting plenty of folic acid. Otherwise, relax, expect it to take some time, and enjoy this time with your husband!

Congrats! What an exciting time.
Are you concerned about the caffeine aspect of tea? Green tea does not have much caffeine in it. Some also believe it boosts fertility. Or you can look for decaf tea as well.
Baby dust!

Welcome! I drank all kinds of tea before conceiving and switched to decaf once i got my bfp.
-
Welcome!! I took the vitafusion too (the target version, I think) and I'm pretty sure the bottle says 2 a day.
I don't drink coffee or tea, so I'm no help there. Seconding @Mrs.Someone: suggestion to drink hot chocolate though. Yummm
-
if you would like a completely caffeine free tea then try an herbal tea like chamomile, peppermint, etc. I personally like a rooibos tea when i'm pregnant!
technically it shouldn't be harmful to have one or two cups of coffee or caffienated tea a day, so if it is difficult to give up the coffee, i would keep drinking it -- just less!
-
I'm not a tea drinker, other than a lemon and honey tea I make myself. It's really good if you want to try that.
I loved those gummies and I always took two a day.
-
Maybe try fruit teas or a hot chocolate with little to no caffeine.
-
I drink no/low caffeine tea at night but still have my usual coffee in the morning while TTC. No harm with it!
-
I personally loved the Apple Cinnamon Spice Tea which is naturally caffeine free or a decaf Earl Grey. Especially while trying to conceive coffee is ok. I drank my daily mocha up until I found out I was pregnant and now sip a decaf one about twice a week.
I love those vitafusion gummies but after reading how much of each vitamin you really should be getting, I switched to a NatureMade Prenatal although I found out after I bought a giant bottle that the Target Prenatal is even better and cheaper.

Thank You All!! I will try all of your suggestions!, its just gonna be nice to have something hot and i have no idea why i didn't think of hot coco!,i'm sure i will end up having a lot more questions before long though, we just started TTC this week so it may be a long wait but will be worth it! trying not to get discouraged! its hard not too
