Have you cut caffine?

Stuuuaaart · April 2016

I wouldn't say I drink a lot of coffee but I have one cup as soon as I wake up and most days a second cup in my way to work. Since my IUI last week, I stopped drinking the second cup.
So im wondering have you all cut caffine and is it true that you should? I never asked my re but she also never mentioned it.

My RE said to reduce caffeine intake; however, I rarely drink caffeine anyway. I think she said one cup a day of coffee was ok.

I've always heard one cup is okay. Maybe switch the second cup to decaf? I always need one, but I like to have a second so that I have something to sip on throughout the morning. I've been making that one a decaf lately.

My RE said one cup a day is fine so I drink 1 cup of tea in the morning and that's it. Can't completely cut it out, I won't function otherwise.

My RE also said to reduce caffeine if you're taking in more than 2-3 cups/day. I drink 1 cup of coffee in the morning and sometimes I'll have a cup of low-caff tea in the afternoon, and he was not concerned with this amount. He said where caffeine intake starts to have an effect on fertility success is around the 3-4 cup range, but all types of beverages contain different amounts, so it's hard to really tell where to draw the line!

I think your 1-2 cups per day is just fine! But some people are not comfortable with that and cut it out all together, like alcohol. It's totally up to you and what you're comfortable with!

I drink 2 cups of half caf/half decaf every morning.. My RE never told me to give it up either.

I'll basically repeat what everyone else said. My RE wanted me to reduce caffeine as much as possible. I've been drinking half-caf in the mornings now, and will eventually get back to having little to none. I don't NEED it in the morning, but it's mostly a comfort thing and some days you just want something hot to drink.

Same as everyone else. Need at least 1 cup of coffee. I have, however limited any caffinated teas or sodas. I believe most website will tell u the same.

I'm not a coffee drinker but I have cut out all pop (soda) and caffeinated tea. I've found some really great decaf teas that I like so if I'm in the mood I will have some of that or a hot chocolate if I'm having a really crappy day.

I cut out regular coffee before my IUI in October. If I need something hot, I usually have a cup of decaf tea or low caf black tea. My RE hasn't said anything either about restricting it. You're still consuming caffeine in chocolate too, just at a much lower dose. It's hard to get away from it completely and usually anything under 100mg per day will not have an adverse affect.

My RE never said anything about it but my naturopath suggested I switch to decaf because caffeine can effect the way your body absorbs folic acid apparently.
