I know it is said that 2 cups of regular a day or less is okay.  I am wondering if decaf coffee is the way to go instead?  However, I did read though that de-caf can actually be worse because sometimes they use chemicals to get the caffeine extracted or sometimes a water process is used?  I know it would be best to completly cut it out altogether like I did before DD but I am having a really difficult time with it this time around.  Ugh my transfer is sat too!, maybe I should just start buying those coffee flavored nips candies?  I wish I didn't like coffee so much.  Doesn't help matters that I got a Keurig for christmas and use it every morning I don't drink more then a cup and a half a day in the morning but feel guilty about it.

I went decaf-only during IVF at the request of my RE. But you can get naturally decaffeinated coffee that doesn't use chemicals during the extraction. I found one I liked at Trader Joe's. I'm not sure about the decaf cups for the Keurig though.

Good luck Saturday with your transfer!

I'm a coffee fanantic too. I just totally cut it out (headaches galore for 2 weeks) when I went through IVF. My IVF nurse was really against caffine and decaf during IVF. Anyway, Around 6 or 7 weeks pg, I started drinking decaf. My OB and RE were fine with that. Then around week 13 or 14, I started drinking a cup of regular a day. I would probably do the same thing again if I had it to do over. It was a relative short time and I just went to starbucks and got vanilla steamers or drank hot water w/ lemon.
