decaf is fine

Re: decaf coffee question

I was a coffee addict too. In early July I started weaning myself off. I switched to making 1/2 caf / 1/2 decaf in the AM, in the home coffee maker. Then I got decaf at D&D. It did take about a week to fully come "down" but now really all I drink is decaf. You get used to it and it's for a good cause I find that for me, it's more psychological than anything....I need the taste in the AM.

Im a coffee Addict too. That said I still drank my daily cup of coffee and then some during my IVF and it worked just fine. I wouldnt have done anything to lessen the chances, my Dr said nothing about it??

My Dr recently said if you drank a pot of Decaf coffee, it would equal one cup of regular coffee in caffeine. So you could have one or two decaf cups with VERY little to no caffenine.

I drink regular coffee up until transfer and then switch to decaf or no coffee at all - and drink chocolate milk instead (it's a guilty pleasure ).

Wow - I drank cofee (Starbucks high test no less) throughout my whole IVF and my pregnancy. Never even gave it a second thought...

Re: decaf coffee question

thank-you so much ladies. i just heard that caffeine was a no-no. i am glad that decaf (and the occasional regular cup) is ok!
