Hello, I've posted a few times on the board, but I wanted to introduce myself and change my status from lurker to active. We are TTC for DC #1 (I hope I'm abbreviating correctly--getting used to the glossary) and next month will be our 2nd cycle of actively trying.
I am also a recovering coffee addict/switching to decaf and trying to get my body used to making way for a (hopefully) future baby.

Welcome, good luck.
Ugh I do not look forward to decaffeinating myself.. just today alone I had two cups of coffee and two diet cokes.
We're not TTC until Nov so I have some time..
Welcome!

Welcome out of hiding and GL!
I was a big coffee drinker too so I understand your road to decaffinating! I started ordering my coffee half-decaf and I actually don't even notice a difference! Still need a little caffeine to get through the morning!
BFP #2: EDD 9/3/13~~Slow HB at 1st U/S~~MMC -Loss on 2/13/13
Welcome and GL! I am down to one latte a day...GL cutting out coffee is hard!
Welcome!
Good luck with TTC and good luck with getting weaned off caffeine. I remember doing that and going cold turkey - big mistake!

I am now officially decaffeinated myself. my two difficulties was my frappucinos (sp?) at starbucks and my cherry coke zero. discovered you can get the frappucinos decaf and they actually taste better. the coffee is fresh brewed! no help with the cherry coke zero. they don't make it in decaf but i have decaf diet coke. its not as good but it encourages me to drink less cokes and more water
