Re: What does green tea do???
i think it's supposed to improve cervical mucous - not sure if in quantity, quality, or both. but recently there was a thread about how it may not be all that good for you. i will see if i can find it and bump it for you.

I just found this from Parenting Magazine and I thought I would post it.
Tea: When to Avoid Green
Trying to conceive? Why green tea is not as beneficial as you think
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By Nicole Sprinkle
Despite the health benefits of green tea (scientists think it may protect against cancer), it's best to skip it if you're trying to conceive. It decreases the effectiveness of folic acid, which is vital for preventing neural tube defects in the first month after conception. The effect is small if you continue to eat folate-rich greens and take a folic-acid supplement, but why take a chance? After the first trimester, up to a cup a day is fine.
