Who drinks green tea?

ENevENev member
in TTC After a Loss

Do you drink green tea as part of your TTC plan? Do you drink the regular stuff or the "naturally decaffeinated?" I've read conflicting things on both whether it helps with TTC and whether you should drink caffeinated or decaffeinated.

I bought a large box of the decaf and I'm drinking a cup, unsweetened, right now. (blech, must get sugar packets) I hope it helps!

Another thing I heard today - V8 splash every day to increase CM. Anyone do this? 

I want to use every tool possible this month!!! Any other tools, wacky or not, that you use that I might not know about, please let me know!

Thanks. :)

    I buy mine at Trader Joe's.  It is the one my FIL recommended (he's a doc and on the state medical board so I trust his judgement).

    Its Jasmine Green Tea by Triple Leave Tea.  Its really good unsweetened actually which is awesome.  If I want it a little sweeter he suggested clover honey which is super yummy!

    Actually I am looking at the box right now and it doesnt list caffeine but doesnt say decaff, so I would assume it has caffeine which is fine with me for now.  I will switch back to decaff when I get pg. 

    I do 2-3 BIG cups per day-supposed to decrease acidity of CM so the male sperm have a better chance and I want a boy so so so bad!

    I drank it while we were TTCing.  I loved the Lipton green tea with mandarin oranges in the pyramid bags.  I would sweeten it with a little local honey.  It really helped my CM.  Here is what we did each month for TTC:

    green tea everyday until O confirmed

    charted temps, cervical position, and CM

    took PNV, antioxidants, B6, vitamin E, folic acid, and Chinese herbs

    used OPKs and sperm-friendly lube during O time

    acupuncture for endometriosis since Feb 2008

    another lap surgery on April 1, 2008

    Monitored unmedicated follicle study in May 2008 after lap

    Hey Lady!  :)

    I drank green tea and all teas (decaf) before my BFP and the 8 weeks I was pregnant.  I sweetened it up with honey...its really good that way.  I'm sure I'll lay off my coffee here soon and go back to the decaf...ug...soon :)

    Take care and GL!
