I didn't drink any caffeine while we were TTC but I don't think that it is a big deal if you limit it. I had a tendency to be overly cautious (read: ridiculously paranoid) throughout our TTC process and pregnancy.

I had limited caffeine while pregnant so I would do the same while TTC.

I drank the same amount I did before TTC, and drink pretty much the same amount after getting pregnant since its below the recommended amount of daily caffeine.

I drank the same amount but I usually just did a cup of coffee and cup of tea a day. When I found out I was pregnant though I cut back to just hot chocolate and occasionally tea.

I didn't limit myself while TTC, I didn't want TTC to be a chore so I did everything the same. For me, it was usually 2 cups of coffee a day, with an occasional ice tea or soda thrown in.

I drink one cup (6 to 8 oz.) of coffee a day. I don't drink other caffeinated drinks, but I never drank soda prior to TTC either.

I tried to limit my caffeine during my first trimester (we never TTC, accident baby!) but I was so sick up until 22 weeks that the only thing that would settle my stomach most days was a Coke. I would let myself have one every few days and now that I'm in my third trimester, I'll allow myself a cup of coffee/coke every other day or so. I try not to drink more than ONE in a day but I won't lie, sometimes a girl needs a second Coke.

I recently quit caffeine although I still occasionally drink decaf or green tea when I really want it.

I just read a recent article that talked about caffeine interfering with ovulation. I can't find it at the moment, but I'll check some of my other posts.

I react very strongly to caffeine so even though I would only have one a day max, I figured since I feel it more than a normal person, maybe it's also affecting me more...so I'm trying without.

I drink decaf coffee now instead of regular. I only drink one or two cups a week. I do drink Dr. Pepper a couple times a week.

I am trryyiiing to limit myself because I drink way too much caffeine. I think I border on the 200mg per day limit but could easily go over some days. Today I had a Tazo Awake tea in the morning. And I just got a caffeine-free diet coke (boo, aspartame) to drink with my lunch.

@winniebee: This is what my doctor said too. She said a smallish coffee a day (or soda, or tea or whatever your vice is) is fine, even to have every day. Totally within allowable limits.

@Hillsy85: There are some charts online which list out the caffeine content of different beverages too, which might be helpful.

Have gone down to just my morning coffee. Every now and again I have a pop. We never keep pop in our house so I never had it much anyways.

I didn't change it at all. Actually..I had a margarita the night before I got a bfp! doh..but I think it's okay.

I have not been drinking any caffeine yet (only 4 weeks along) because I'm paranoid. I have a dr appt at 8 weeks and I'll check in how much I'm allowed then.

@plantains: LOL! well at least I'm not alone!

@winniebee: I've heard a lot of stuff about decaf being bad too so I try to just avoid coffee in general, but when I want it, the caff stuff is just too much for me after not having caffeine!

@Mrs Green Grass: I think it's like anything else...they "say" to be careful about decaf, caffeine, lunch meat, fish, runny eggs, and the list goes on and on. My view is everything in moderation : )

I go on and off the decaf wagon - even when I drink the leaded stuff it is still only one to two cups of coffee a day so I'm not super worried about it.

I am in the process of quitting caffeine, I'm not a coffee drinker but I am a pop drinker, and usually have 1 can in the morning and 1 fountain in the afternoon. This is my last week of any caffeine. this was our first month of TCC, but I think I messed up my O dates and we might have missed it.
