TWW precautions - alcohol & caffeine

[PlantLadyMum]

Just wondered what you all do during the TWW with regards to caffeine and alcohol.

We're trying for our second (had an MVA for MMC in August) and so far I've been taking my folic acid/vit D, but still have one cup of 'proper' coffee in the morning, so within safe limits, but also having a glass of something in the evening if I fancy it. I saw someone say drink until it's pink earlier!

Thoughts?

Hey OP, I think you'll get varying opinions on this one.

Some people cut it all out throughout TTC and TWW, some do not until they get that BFP, after which they make the adjustments.

My advice - you do you. If you feel better excluding both and you feel like that's the right thing to do - do that. Realistically, I don't think you are doing anything harmful by having 1-2 cups of coffee/tea and/or the odd drink in the TWW. I feel like the TWW can be such a rollercoaster and can be quite stressful anyway, don't stress yourself even more.

Good luck!

Dont cut it out live your live cause ttc can be long.

I have been at it now for 4 years 4 miscarriages and 1 cp and if I stopped living I would be a shell of a person.

My doc told me to tell oh to take me out get me drunk take me home and for him to do all the work oh and drink till its pink cause it can take up to a year or longer.

I drink what I want 🤷🏼‍♀️ It took a year to conceive my DS, that would have been a long time to not have coffee or alcohol. I went right off alcohol when I did conceive, it was my first sign even before a test!

I drink coffee. I drank 1 cup of coffee (capuchino etc) during pregnancy too as 1 cup is perfectly normal. There’s cafeine in tea and chocolate too so that would mean to cut them too.
It can take long to conceive and it can stress you even more that you don’t have coffee, glass of wine and still not pregnant. Fingers crossed you get BFP soon!

Thanks all - I got my BFP today! I'm only 9dpo!! I used these ultra early CB digital ones - not seen them before now
