Re: caffeine
I've been limiting my caffeine to my morning cup of coffee and that's it. If I get an iced coffee later in the day it's decaf!! Just trying to reduce my intake now, so it's easier to cut it out when I'm pg.

Re: caffeine
I'm not a coffee drinker (an occasional espresso or cappuccino), but I do like my diet soda. I've cut the soda out for a couple of days now, just had a little of ginger ale yesterday.
Is it OK to have ginger ale or sprite? That doesn't have caffeine in it, right?

Re: caffeine
I drink Arizona Green Tea all day long. I am getting upset just thinking about having to cut down when we TTC.
Does anyone know how much caffeine is in Arizona Green Tea?

Re: caffeine
I am a big coffee drinker too- and I love Starbucks! In the morning, I have half decaf and half regular- and I've cut out my after lunch cup of coffee.
I'm not sure if caffeine affects TTCing, but you will definitely need to lower it once you become pregnant! I'm just trying to get used to not drinking so much caffeine.

Re: caffeine
I think I will try this too...half regular and half decaf. It is a good idea to get used to less caffeine now...yikes! i am not a morning person at all!

ginger ale doesnt have caffeine - neither does sprite or 7up.

Re: caffeine
This is the one crutch I struggle with... I used to have a 24oz cup in the morning and then an 8 oz cup in the afternoon...
Ive been able to cut the afternoon out completely, by Im still drinking 20 oz. in the morning...
I need CA (Caffeine Anonymous)
