TTC After a Loss

Caffeine in the 2ww

Do you drink it or avoid it? I know alcohol is okay sparingly, but I have tea every morning. Should I or shouldn't I?

Re: Caffeine in the 2ww

  • I drink my caffeinated tea in the 2ww.  I always figure since they say that a small amount is okay even in pregnancy that it should be okay especially since we are drinking tea.  I will switch to decaf only when I get a BFP.

  • I personally since the 2nd m/c have sworn off caffeine and alcohol in the  2ww. I know it didnt cause either one of the m/c but I figure whats 2 weeks if Im pg I'll have to give it up anyway.

  • I limit it.  I talked to my perinatologist and she says that all the research is not conclusive.  I try to take under 100mg a day which is considered safe.
  • I drink it.  I've actually been slowly phasing it out for PG.  I know it's fine (in a small amount) during PG and actually drank coffee off and on throughout my PG with my DD.  I'm just doing it to try and be more healthy.
  • I cut down, but don't eliminate it.

  • Originally my attitude was moderation during the 2ww then cut it when and if I get a BFP. 

    After my 2nd loss I did start having it again but now I'm trying to wean myself.  I just don't want it in my system during the 2ww at all.  I think that's overly cautious, but that's where I'm at.
