Caffeine ??!? Starbucks!?

Question

Okay so I am in love with Starbucks.. Hell I get one or two Machiattos a day. Which for those of you who don't drink a lot of coffee this is double shots over milk. Anyways.. So this month I had a positive pregnancy test!! Yay!! I was so happy but then after a couple days I rechecked and it was negative.. Well I thought to myself what am I doing? Why can't this little bean stick? After doing research I have found that maybe my obsessive caffeine intake is making me not concept? I ovulate.. Husband is fine.. There shouldn't be an issue. Well this month even though my job is super stressful (I'm a nurse) I'm going to just drink green tea and decaf coffee and stay away from the strong stuff maybe this is what I need!! Anyone out there have stories? Successful ones? Ones that back this up maybe ??

Answer

Green tea in your first trimester makes it harder for your body to absorb folic acid which is essential for the baby, especially during the first 12-14 weeks. I drank it sparingly.
My doctor told me it's fine to have a cup a day so I still indulge in my iced caramel Macchiato's. I just keep it to one caffeinated beverage a day.

Answer

If you're trying to conceive it would be smart to cut down on your coffee fix. If not totally at least to one a day. And something less caffeinated too. Also if you're not already, I'd  suggest taking prenatals or folic acid they will help you have a healthier pregnancy especially for the first 12 weeks when things are in a more... "Delicate" stage if you will.

Answer

I'm having the same doubts! They do say drinking caffein in excess is bad for the baby

Answer

THE STRUGGLE!!!!

I'm doing tea and decaf coffee too for similar reasons but it's sooo hard. Giving up caffiene is supposed to help w/my endometriosis and ttc. I'm doing tea because my body withdraws when I try to give up caffiene completely.

My step sister has also been trying to concieve all year and like you she drinks alot of starbucks, I think if she gave it up she might see some progress.

On the other hand my biological sister drinks alot of coffee too and is weeks pregnant.

So really it's a toss up bu I know coffee contribute to inflammation, which can lead to hormone imbalances, which can lead to infertility. So I think your making the best choice. GOOD LUCK
