Caffeine while TTC?

Question

I'm just wondering if anyone continues to drink coffee or caffeinated products while they are trying to conceive? I know there is no definitive answer regarding the safety of caffeine whilst pregnant. Some say 90 mg is okay and others don't even chance it. I usually drink my morning brew until I get a bfp. What do y'all do?

Answer

All the studies I've looked at say it's perfectly fine to drink some caffeine even while pregnant, so it would also be fine while TTC.  Just keep it to below 100 mg -- that's 1-2 cups of coffee (depending on strength, beans, etc).  Caffeinated soda should be completely cut out, but that's because of all the other crap in it.

Answer

I am trying to conceive and haven't cut out caffeine. I don't really drink soda so my main source is coffee and I limit myself to one cup a day. I also happen to drink half regular and half decaf for my heart condition. So overall not a ton of caffeine but regardless I wouldn't cut it out till BFP.

Answer

I decided to stop drinking caffeine while ttc since it seemed unhealthy anyway. Felt like I needed it to feel normal. Probably better for me that way so I don't have to deal with the withdrawal headaches whenever I do get pregnant.
