CPW: TTC and coffee

hungryhippohungryhippo member
in Pregnant after a Loss

Hi Ladies,

This poll was posted on TTCAL this morning, and I thought it might be interesting to compare responses from the two boards. Obviously, it won't be a scientific comparison, I'm mostly just curious.

Think back to when you were TTCAL.How much coffee did you drink on an average day back when you were TTC?

[poll]

TTC #1 since January 2011
BFP#1 April 12, 2011, EDD December 24, 2011, strong heart beat at 7w3d, d&c at 10w6d
BFP#2 Oct 24, 2011, natural miscarriage, EDD unknown
After RPL testing my losses and subsequent infertility are considered unexplained.
Cycle #22: Femara, TI, and progesterone = BFP!! 
BFP#3 Dec 21, 2012. Beta #1 @14dpo = 134, progesterone 67.8. Beta #2 @ 17dpo = 664! Team green, EDD 9/1/13, healthy baby boy born 9/12/13!

    That is tough for me to answer because it unintentionally varied so much while TTC.  There were times last winter when I was drinking several cups per day and others that I didn't drink any at all.  

    I did not limit anything at all while TTC.   

    ETA: just changed wording because what I wrote made no sense.  I should not be allowed to type anything for awhile after waking up from a nap.

    I didn't limit anything while TTC, but I did cut down on coffee so I wouldn't deal with headaches if I wanted to quit later. Pre TTC I had about 4 cups per day and would get a headache if I didn't get caffeine in me shortly after waking up. I slowly weaned myself down to 1 cup per day while TTC, and then when we got PG, coffee made me sick so I quit altogether.

    Why isn't 0 an option? I said SS because I switched to decaf and would have the occasional cup of regular from time-to-tme. I cut out coffee altogether when I was pregnant with DS, then decided to be more laid back with the next pregnancy, but when that resulted in m/c I decided to quit coffee again. I know that it wasn't what caused the m/c, but my TTCAL and PgAL brain couldn't shut it off.

    I don't drink coffee anyways, so the answer is always none for me. I prefer hot chocolate or tea, but usually only if it is cold or I am sick.

    It's every bit as reassuring as I hoped it would be. I did experiment with giving up coffee (and all caffeine) altogether in September. I definitely had more EWCM, but even with perfect timing, still not pregnant.

    Good question about 0 being an option. I wanted the poll to be exactly the same as the one on TTCAL, so I just followed the format. SS is hopefully an option for everyone who doesn't have another option that most closely fits their answer.

    I mostly had one cup and occasionally two cups.  Sometimes half-caff, sometimes decaf, sometimes regular.

    For previous cycles, about one a day and an occasional grande latte (2 shots of espresso) as a treat.  I switched to half caf then decaf several weeks before this last BFP cycle because I didn't want to have any caffeine during the 2WW/early pregnancy.  On my second pregnancy I had horrible headaches/migraines that I think were a result of trying to quit cold turkey.  So far so good this time!
