Have you dropped your caffeine intake?

I didn't realize it but I think I am addicted to caffeine. I have caffeine withdrawal if I don't have coffee. I'm a 3 cups a day girl.

Re: Have you dropped your caffeine intake?

i love my caffeine also.. its really terrible.. but when i got PG the first time.. of course you are VERY limited so it was not bad at all.. maybe if you started cutting down , then by the time you get PG it will be easier for you!

Re: Have you dropped your caffeine intake?

I haven't.

I drink a 16 ounce cup of coffee every morning. I typically have SOME kind of chocolate during the day, and lemonade with dinner.

Is that bad?

Re: Have you dropped your caffeine intake?

Yep. I am down to one cup per day. I have switched to decaf after that, and it is working great so far.. I was at 4-5 cups per day..

Re: Have you dropped your caffeine intake?

I had dropped down... basically eliminated it completely (went through withdrawl headaches and everything).

Due to a rough few weeks at work though, I am back to my usual 2-3 cups / day!

Re: Have you dropped your caffeine intake?

I usually only drink green tea, but I am switching to decaf for other reasons once my package is done-- it's just supposed to be healthier. I don't really *need* caffeine either.

I have one cup in the morning, and then I usually have some decaf chai after dinner.

Re: Have you dropped your caffeine intake?

Kind of...I am down to one cup of coffee in the morning but I still drink way too much soda through out the day. That will be my next thing to work on.

Re: Have you dropped your caffeine intake?

I have. I use to drink three to four cups a day. Now I drink a 16oz half decaf/ half regular and decaf the rest of the day if I desire.

Re: Have you dropped your caffeine intake?

I'm trying to..I don't really drink that much..1 cup of tea in the morning and maybe 2 diet cokes for the rest of the day. I'd LOVE to cut out the diet cokes....

Re: Have you dropped your caffeine intake?

I switched to decaf tea from regular a few years ago; had no choice; I was getting heart palpitations from the amount of caffeine I was taking in. I have drank tea all day since I was a kid.

Re: Have you dropped your caffeine intake?

Haven't cut anything out yet. Mostly because I have no discipline!!!

Re: Have you dropped your caffeine intake?

Nope. I didn't while I was PG either. My OB said it was just fine for me not to cut it out.

Re: Have you dropped your caffeine intake?

No and I am an addict

At least I've started taking prenatals every day

Re: Have you dropped your caffeine intake?

Yes I have. I don't drink coffee (never have) & I've basically cut out soda. I'm trying to lose a couple of pounds & I realized I was drinking too much soda. Cutting it out has worked like a charm.

Re: Have you dropped your caffeine intake?

I am slowly cutting down. I used to have like 4 cups every morning, but now I have about 1 and a half! The way I got to cutting back was I started drinking half decaf, half regular. However I have since been told that its better to drink the regular then the decaf, so I'm back to regular.

Re: Have you dropped your caffeine intake?

Yes, totally.

It has taken me a few weeks, but now I'm proud to say that I haven't had an OUNCE of caffeine in my system for almost a week now. I'm actually drinking a lot of water again. I thought I would be a slumped over mess, but I feel great!!!

Did it for myself for now, and to hopefully help my chances of getting pregnant soon. I'm heavier than I'd like to be right now, and at least the caffeine elimination will be a step in the right direction.

BYE BYE Starbucks GRANDE CARAMEL MACCHIATO!!!!! If I really need to have one, I'll get it in decaf.
