How much caffiene a day do you drink?

cbeney · March 2010

I am (was) addicted to Diet Coke...I am now down to 2 cans a day, hoping to cut it down to one can.(if that sounds like a lot, I used to average 4-5 cans a day!) I do drink a ton of water on top of that.

What about everyone else? Have you cut it out completely or do you indulge in your favorite Starbucks everyday or every now and then?

I too am addicted to diet coke, what do they put in that stuff? I have a toddler who wakes up between 4-4:30 a.m. so caffeine is essential to my functioning at all!

I drink one cup of coffee a day, and then anything beyond that is decaf or herbal.

Except on occassion when I forget and have an iced tea with lunch. Embarrassed

And when AF first arrives, and I'm a little bummed and a little tired, I allow myself two cups o' joe.

I'm seriously addicted to diet coke... I swear there's more than just caffeine in it. I'm down to 2 a day and I plan to quit caffiene altogether when/if I get a BFP - I think caffeine in moderation is probably fine and 2 diet cokes a day is well under the recommended 200 mg a day when pregnant but since I had a loss last time - I just don't want to take any chances

There was an urban legend years ago that Coke had cocaine in it.

I had a serious Diet Coke with Lime addiction for awhile. Stopped that cold turkey a bit over a year ago. Now I'm down to one cup of coffee most days. Sometimes a tea in the afternoon. With this loss I'll go cold turkey next time I'm KU.

I have one cup of coffee a day at the most right now....an occasional diet Coke when we go out to eat. When I start my stims I will cut out caffeine all together...and artifical sweeteners. That one is harder than the caffeine because I cannot stand the sugar in any drink. Crying

1 to 2 cups of coffee a day. Sometimes an afternoon cup of tea.

I drink one cup of tea and one cup of coffee. I drank the same when TTC DS.

I definately think there is something added to Diet Coke to make it extra addicting! lol I miss my large McDonalds Diet Cokes

I get a cup of coffee in the morning and sometimes green or black tea in the afternoons. I don't think I would be able to cut out my morning cup of Joe!

I have never been a coffee drinker (hate the taste, even in desserts) or a soda drinker. I may have a pepsi with spicy food but that is maybe once a week and I usually can't drink a whole can on my own. I know, I am probably making some out there groan loudly. I do have a severe and crippling chocolate addiction though. I drink hot chocolate a lot. I make it with unsweetened cocoa, milk and a little suger (swiss miss is for rookies

). I don' t think there is as much caffeine in chocolate as in coffee, soda or tea, so I don't really plan on cutting any out unless my OB says to.

I too am addicted to the artificial sweeteners. I try to limit my caffeine from soda and coffee Lent helps because I gave up soda (I try to keep it going for as long as I can after Easter) but I love a tall iced tea with lots of ice and one pink packet!!! Probably a lot of caffeine in iced tea.

I am also addicted to diet coke. It was a staple in our house growing up and I just love it. I also like sweet n low in my coffee in the morning.

During my first pregnancy, I tried to quit cold turkey, but I missed it so much I decided that the diet coke was the least harmful and showed the least scientific evidence that it was harmful to pregnancies . I had about 1-2 cans a day, and bought the caffeine free diet coke for the fridge at home so I was at least being a little bit conscious. My daughter turned out just fine....she does not have two heads or 11 fingers, and she is not bouncing off the walls!

This is my 2nd pregnancy and after the first trimester, I plan to be a little less worried about the diet coke intake. I will still heat the deli meat, keep away from the raw fish, and have my tuna-melts in moderation, but I am not staying away from the diet coke again...!
