A small vent (ish)

My acupuncturist said I had to quit coffee (not even decaf!) because it creates too much heat! (You must realize that from a western medicine standpoint it's fine) but, I'm taking a very natural approach right now.

She found my weakness. I LOVE coffee :(

But, I'm paying her too much money to not take her advice!

Boo.

Have you ladies given up bad habits you love for TTC?

    I quit caffeine a couple of months ago too. I feel more draggy, to be honest. It takes me longer to get moving in my day, but I know it's actually healthier for me. Like you said, you're paying her a lot - might as well listen to her.

    How are you going to get through the season without pumpkin spice lattes? 

    I actually started smoking again after DD, and had to quit AGAIN (back in Jan), how stupid, right? This time it was for good, I am so glad to be done with that awful habit. When I bought a Keurig I went down to one cup of coffee per day (I will never give it up) 

    I really need to get rid of all the diet soda! I've been drinking tons of diet coke lately.

    What? ughhhh. No coffee? I am also trying to be more "natural". Spent $40 on a Chinese medicine fertility yoga CD (which I haven't gotten to use in 2 weeks due to DD having lice) and have slowly started phasing out all skin/hair care products that are not paraben-free and natural. Also phasing out all the chemical cleaners.  Try not to eat fast food any more, and buy all my meats from a store that sells from local farms so everything is hormone free. Beef is grass-fed, and chicken is free range.  Other than that, I have probably cut down a bit on drinking. So yeah, I guess I have moved to a "greener, natural" lifestyle. But I have a serious issue with giving up coffee.


    BFP #1 ended in MMC. Discovered Oct 2005 @10w5d, baby stopped growing around 6w. D&C.
    BFP#2 Nov 2005. Baby's heart stopped @ 8w3d. D&C Jan 2006. Trisomy 18
    BFP#3 Nov 2006. My "miracle baby" DD born 7/25/07
    BFP #4 11/6/12. EDD 7/16/13~my birthday! No sac found @ 5w1d, betas not increasing. Natural m/c started 11/20/12.

    BFP#5 11/9/13.  EDD 7/21/14  Our beautiful rainbow born on his due date!!

    Yes! I "saw" you on the Eco-friendly board. Same here, I'm slowly phasing things out.

    I too am pretty green and have switched most of my personal care and cleaning products to less chemical options but giving up coffee is just too much.  I try to stick with 3 times a week at most, so I feel pretty good about that.  I do have elevated temps during my follicular stage though, so perhaps I should give the "less heat" approach a try.  Perhaps I should look into hypnosis to convince myself that I don't like coffee...
