Back in the TTC saddle again....

smileesmilee member
in Infertility

I picked up my PNVs to start taking tonight.

I just made an acu appointment for Thursday...

 

Next up... gulp... giving up caffeine again. I am so mad at myself for getting hooked again. Actually, I am not. It has been a lovely summer sipping the syrupy nectar know as Diet Pepsi.  It has been like a band-aid to my soul! LOL

For those of you who were here last time... I will try not to whine as much ( especially to you LNLE) ;)

    This is AWESOME news......Its a big week for fresh starts.

    I think I should stock up on tissues, since some of my favorite people will be announcing BFP's soon.  

     

    Ummm....I need help quitting caffeine.

    While I hate that you aren't over on SAIF, I am glad that you are back in the saddle!

    I applaud you for giving up caffeine....I can back down to 1 cup of coffee a day but going without makes me a total b$tch.  And, whine all you want.  IF suck enough?.much less without any caffeine.

    Can't wait to hear all of your updates!!!

    Yeah for getting started again. I hope you will be over on SAIF very soon. That's awesome you gave up caffeine, I hope you can kick the habbit again quickly. Good Luck with everything. I really do think it's your turn to go and NEVER come back.

    oh smilee, whine all you want about caffeine! It is unfair that we have to give it up. I'm still drinking decaf coffee b/c I just need the psychological boost. I even bought caffeine free coke - yummy!!!

    just ease back in one step at a time...

    As a Diet Pepsi addict as well, let me tell you that Diet Caffeine Free Pepsi is a wonderful substitute!  I promise, I can't even really tell the difference and it lets me have that sweet, carbonated taste!  :)

    Good luck!!!! How exciting! I recommend weaning yourself off the caffeine as opposed to going cold turkey. That is what I always do when it's time to start again.?

    Good luck with the process. 

    I gave up diet pepsi during my first IVF and picked it up immediately after getting the BFN.  I went right to Walgreens after the crappy news and bought chocolate, diet pepsi max, and as much red wine as I could carry. 

    Diet pepsi is created in the heavens!!  I am down to one 20ozer a day, will be quitting again next week.  Sigh.  Good luck giving it up :)

    Caffeine is the hardest thing to give up for me too. I just started with the decaf stuff and it makes me so sad and cranky. I hope the weening goes easily for you.

    I haven't ever fully given up caffeine, but I was on severe moderation while TTC.  When I took my self-imposed break that was the first thing I turned to for comfort - mass amounts of caffeine.  I could care less about the alcohol...it was the caffeine that made my world happy LOL!  Good luck to you!
