Hi girls! Quick question for you, since we started trying to get pregnant I've allowed myself to enjoy one cup of coffee in the morning. My doctor said as long as I stick to one cup of regular I should be fine. I was just wondering, are you girls still enjoying coffee in small amounts or have you given it up altogether? I read an article the other day that babies exposed to caffeine in the womb can suffer from withdrawal after they are born. I'm sure this is only for those exposed to greater amounts, but I still wonder if maybe I should just switch to decaf altogether. I'm already tired so I guess it won't make a huge difference.
Thanks, everyone! Now I just need to try not to freak out at work while I wait to hear the results. I hate the fact that our "good odds" are just barely better than a flip of a coin. Aggghh!
***pregnancy mentioned***
Me: 27/ DH: 29
Dx: obstructive azoospermia
IVF#1: October 2015
10/7/2015: ER 11 retrieved, 8 mature, 7 fertilized w/ ICSI
10/12/2015: Transferred 5AA and 4AA blasts, froze one 4AA and 4BB
I'm not a coffee drinker but I do like tea, lattes, etc. I've switched to decaf and will allow myself 1-2 caffeinated drinks a week. If I were to miscarry, I know I'd blame myself for drinking caffeine (even though that likely wouldn't be the reason) so I want to avoid that situation all together.
@runmeg91 i gave up coke and black tea. Its soo hard! But i thought i can do it and did it - worthless to say i am obly at 5 weeks and wont resist ... But i'll try. I guess if you just drink one light coffe its fine. One of my friends once told me her dr comment. She said that if you drink regular coffe it wont hurt. If you drink strong italien espresso it might change that. Good luck
@runmeg91 My friend with IVF twins drank 1-2 cups everyday during pregnancy (doctor also said it was fine). I'm not a huge coffee drinker but indulge in a 12 ounce latte a couple times a week.... everything in moderation, right? It's easy to make yourself mad! I also make a conscience effort to drink it slowly and with water. Although the link with liquids and morning sickness is interesting! I'll have to try no water at meals and see if that helps (I'm such a huge water drinker!).
Best of luck everyone with appointments today! First ultrasound in a few hours and I am just as nervous as my beta (how is that possible?!). I was tossing and turning all night! Please find a healthy HB (or 2!).
@mclorn Mostly because I'm a spaz and feel better when I'm within the "normal" range (even though the normal levels vary greatly). I also have that nagging concern that I'll have a molar pregnancy. I know my number isn't anywhere near MP levels but again, I'm a spaz and can't help getting nervous.
@LCK0830 I am going for my 3rd test this Friday, I'm not sure if I will have another one or not before my first ultrasound on nov. 4. Personally I wish I could keep going every other day (as much as I hate bloodwork) just to know where I stand until the first ultrasound. Going a week in between is very difficult for me, but I'm sure my doctors office has a reason for not seeing me for that long. Hopefully it means everything is normal and what they like to see so far!
Got the call this morning at 10 AM, I'm pregnant!!!!! HCG was 122 I think? So excited!! Still very nervous about all of this, I just want to hurry up and have my next beta results and an U/S!! Thanks everyone for your support!
@Christiniv lol that makes more sense given the discussion lol. I need to stop checking the board on my phone

@LCK0830 I had my 4th beta this morning. A nurse told me that their policy to to HCG up until 1500 then schedule a ultrasound. My levels have been on the low, slow side, so I had to do four.
But... no more! My levels finally got there! 2111 as of this morning, so scheduled u/s next Thursday!
RE says: no raw meat/fish, no unpasteurized cheese, avoid caffeine and alcohol (although a few sips of either here and there is fine), intercourse okay, any exercise okay up to 30 minutes a day. :x
Aw congrats @caitiemae! @mclorn thank you for posting your REs recommendations! I was wondering about exercise. To be honest I've been kinda lazy the last few weeks but would like to add some light exercise to my daily routine I'm just so nervous of hurting the baby in anyway which I know is probably silly. I was thinking of starting with a light yoga/Pilates class tonight. Non heated of course! Do you think that would be ok?
@runmeg91 Yes that would be a good way to ease back into exercising! My RE said no exercise restrictions, just keep it to ~30 minutes a day. I am excited to get back into my barre classes (50 minutes but stretching, etc, so I think it's fine).
HOLY CRAP! Pardon my French but, WOW! This is quite honestly the luckiest group ever; so happy I'm part of it. =D>
@ShayLatrice asked a good question: What's the number of BFPs?
I need to know... So, if you finally got your BFP, post below and let's count it out! While we are doing this, lets make this educational. A lot of people follow our group- it's good to acquire information, so let's provide it!
