Green tea?

I have been reading through some posts on this board and notice people drinking green tea to help when TTC.  What does it do?  I have never heard of this.  I am currently waiting on AF to TTC again.  I had a missed m/c in October.  Thanks!

    It's supposed to help your body build up your cervical mucus. You have to be careful when you drink it though, it can counteract your prenatal vitamin and make the folic acid ineffective. Most ladies take their folic acid 12 hours opposite of their green tea to protect against this.

    Interesting I had no idea about the impact with PNVs.  I usually have both at night.  You learn something every day on this board...

    Green tea definitely helps with CM,  I can attest to that,  which is exceptionally helpful when using clomid, which can actually cause CM to be not existent.  I have heard that it can hinder the absorbtion of folic acid so it's a good idea to take prenatals in the am and drink green tea in the pm.

    Good luck!
