Coffee and conception

[Maisy24]

Hi all,

Just wanted to ask is there a correlation between coffee and conception? Anything proven that if you cut it out your chance of getting a BFP increases?

I have been ttc for around 15 months and I currently have around 3 coffees a day. Obviously this ttc is a hard enough journey without cutting out my coffee (already cut out alcohol and a lot of my diet.

Any advice would be appreciated

I would doubt 3 cups of coffee a day would have a material impact. After 15 months, have you had any fertility testing? I would be looking into that next.

Having said that, when you fall pregnant the advice is to cut down to 1 cup a day, so could you start working towards that?

I know what you mean about having to give up all the fun/necessary stuff during TTC. There just isn't as much comfort in leafy greens and plain water

We're about to start ivf and the advice is to have decaf from the start. I can't remember the exact science, but I'm going along with it.
I don't want to take any chances. I realise it might sound mad to some though.

I would think if the advice is to switch to decaf whilst pregnant, then give it a go if you can.

Thanks everyone think I'll going to try and just have one in the morning, iIf ivf clinics tell you to stop there must be something in it.

@HeyHeyWhatever yes we've had everything done, bloods, scans, sperm analysts and everything is ok, so annoying that's it's unexplained!

@Pinkstars2501 good luck with ivf!

@Maisy24 Thankyou Yes that's what I thought. There's definitely something in it. I'm sure it's something to do with caffeine interfering with implantation in some way....might have got that mixed up but I'm sure they wouldn't say to avoid it if there was no point.
