TTC After a Loss

s/o coffee

If you are actively TTC, are you drinking coffee, or have you given up caffiene?

Re: s/o coffee

  • Drink until it's pink. But, I'm not a huge drinker anyways (of soda, coffee or alcohol...maybe 1-2 a week). If I had 3-5 glasses a day I may feel the urge to cut back during the 2ww, but I know that there are FHs who knock back 10 drinks a day during their 2ww and still manage to produce perfectly healthy offspring.

    The only thing I won't do during my 2ww is sit in a hot tub or hot bath.

  • I drink decaf only, unless I have a migraine and then I take med with caffeine for that.  I know the decaf has a little, but I love my coffee!

  • I have always hated the taste of coffee and only drank it when I needed the caffeine, so giving it up completely was no biggie.

    However, when I visited my SIL in Hawaii about a month ago, she made a pot of delicious Kona coffee every morning, and I started enjoying it. When I got back home, I started having it because it reminded me of being in Hawaii with my 2 SsIL and my little nephew and newborn niece. I now drink it every morning.

    I will probably cut it out once we're actively TTC again, but I don't really think the 1 cup I have a day is going to hurt much.

  • I drink a cup in the morning. I probably still will even when I get KU. I asked my Dr. about it and he said it's fine in moderation, one cup in the morning isn't going to do anything bad. I avoid other sources of caffeine throughout the day though. I might feel differently when KU again and switch to decaf.
  • I should have bought decaf today, but i just don't like the taste of it!! This is my first big cup of it in awhile. If i drink any more, it may be 1 cup a day.

    I did switch to Caffiene free diet pepsi when I do drink soda.

    One of the teachers I was in a long term for (she was heading out on maternity leave), she drank coffee like there was no tomorrow. 4-5 BIG mugs daily. I was shocked.

  • I still drink a cup in the morning.  A friend of mine is TTC, and her doctor told her to cut out caffiene altogether.  I'm thinking its just a doctor's preference?  I mean, I know not to dope up on caffiene drinks all day long...but my doctor didn't mention giving up my one-a-day habit.

  • I drink a cup in the morning. I have been working in a cup of decaf in its place on the mornings I feel rested, but still have the craving.

  • I am trying so hard to cut back on the caffeine and well failing. I'm not a huge coffee drinker unless I'm missing out on sleep but I drink way to much soda.  Hopefully soon I'll be kicking the caffeine habit and it won't matter.

  • the day I found out I was pregnant I stopped drinking coffee or any dark sodas. I never had a lot to begin with like 3-5 glasses/cups a day maybe 1 can/cup a day. Right now while we are active I may have soda or coffee once a week or even longer.

  • It depends on the cycle... I stopped drinking it when I started feeling symptoms for my first BFP. After my loss, I kept not drinking it. It made me upset to think I could because I shouldn't be able to. This month, I was drinking it before O (new Wawa with free coffee... who could resist??) but cut it out in the 2ww because I was going back to work. I didn't want to have to adjust to waking up early and no coffee at the same time if I did get KU. I guess that wasn't necessary though Sad

    Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  • I LOVE my morning cup of coffee.  Once I learned we were PG last time, I quit cold turkey... man were my mornings rough for awhile!  After I had my M/C I told myself I would not start drinking coffee again, but of course, on my first day back to work I just couldn't resist, and have gone back to my old coffee-drinking ways!! 

     What can I say?  I have no will power.

     My OB is one of those that says everything, includinf coffee, is fine in moderation, but if we get PG again I will definitely cut out caffeine again.
