Did you STOP

Question

Drinking coffee and/or soda before starting IVF? What eating changes did you make a month prior?

Answer

I don't typically drink, but I've completely eliminated it.  I'm trying to increase my fruits and veggies, no coffee or caffeine, trying to avoid eating out, increasing water intake, and generally eating healthy (which I normally do with mostly organic food, but less cheats).  I figure if we're spending this much money on treatment, I might as well do it all and not have regrets. We got 3 embryos from our first retrieval that are genetically normal.

Answer

I just cut down how much tea I drank. Just a couple of cups a day rather than 4 or 5! For this round I ate healthily but normally. I didn't go crazy cutting things out. Doing that didn't help in the first two rounds. It just made it more stressful. I don't really drink alcohol anyway.

Answer

I cut back and also totally stopped alcohol during the process. Purely to try and be nice to my body during a hard time.

Answer

I switched to 8oz decaf & 4oz caffeined coffee. And I cut back on soda over a year ago to soda water (carbonated)

Answer

I don't drink coffee and I rarely drink soda.  I did switch to sprite, when I have a craving, to cut out the caffeine.  I also stopped taking my migraine medicine per doc, which has caffeine and aspirin.

Answer

I cut back but didn’t stop completely. I have fountain soda when I go out to eat and that’s all.

Answer

I dont drink soda at all and limit myself to a 2 cups a day max for coffee. 
I drink a decent amount of water and some juice. I also go to the gym 5 days a week and eat relatively well for the most part (though I do love some ice cream lol).

Answer

No eating changes prior, or during. I stopped alcohol the day before my transfer.
The only thing I stopped before that was smoking three months before I started IVF.
