To drink or not to drink...

Coffee?

Are any of you giving up coffee during pregnancy?  I know we can drink a limited amount of caffeine, but I've decided to give up my one cup of coffee a day and switch to decaf. 

Anyone else?

I have had chai tea the past few days....still has caffeine in it but not nearly as much...I haven't had any headaches or anything from the lack of caffeine which is hard to believe considering I normally drank coffee all day! From what I have researched, a small amount is ok. But if you can tolerate none at all...then even better!!

I used to HAVE to have my coffee in the mornings. When my husband and I were TTC, I started giving up caffeine because I wanted to get the withdrawal headaches out of the way before a pregnancy. 

I am now drinking decaf (one cup in the morning) and it tastes the same and I don't have those dreadful caffeine withdrawal headaches. :)

I made the switch to decaf once I got pregnant with Chloe and never switched back. I think it tastes just as good :)

I drink one cup of coffee per day. I did throughout my pregnancy with DS and plan to during this one as well.

I gave it up completely with DS and had 1 cup a day with DD.  I will probably do 1 cup a day this time too.

My RE makes you give it up while he is treating you. I have it up prior to this IVF cycle.
I gave it up with all of my pregnancies. I have enough issues without adding something that's avoidable. If I had normal pregnancies, I might would do the one cup per day.

Cutting coffee and caffeine out my life! I needed a break from it anyways, and I don't want to think I'm hurting my baby in any way.  Of course it's my first baby and I'm more worried than most who are on their second or third lol

This. I didn't do IVF, but my RE was clear to abstain from caffeine entirely. When I was pregnant the first time I did have some, but not more than one cup of tea per day. Caffeine didnt cause my losses but I don't want to risk anything that could jeopardize this pregnancy.
TTC #1 since January 2011
BFP#1 April 12, 2011, EDD December 24, 2011, strong heart beat at 7w3d, d&c at 10w6d
BFP#2 Oct 24, 2011, natural miscarriage, EDD unknown

After RPL testing my losses and infertility are considered unexplained.
Cycle #22: Femara, TI, and progesterone = BFP!!
BFP#3 Dec 21, 2012. Beta #1 @14dpo = 134, progesterone 67.8
Beta #2 @ 17dpo = 664!

Sending lots of love and luck to KGS2003. I have crates of sparkling cider waiting for the day she gets her BFP!!
