Does anyone know if drinking tea and coffee lowers your fertility rate? I read somewhere that it had a negative effect on it and I read somewhere else that it didn't - so confusing!!
If it does, do you think drinking decaff tea would be ok?
I read that caffeine was good for little swimmers so get brewing up for your OH!!! I'm not sure what effect it has on ladies but I have switched to de-caff because I know caffeine has been linked to MC and I have had 3 MCs in the past so don't want to risk it. I used to drink A LOT of coffee though, not the odd cup like most normal people!
Yeah, I switched to decaf tea when I was TTC and kept off caffeine throughout the pregnancy. Wasn't really into coffee so that didn't bother me. Plus I cut out chocolate (not hard for me as I'm not into that either) and cola (didn't drink it much).
Can't remember where I read now, but it was something about caffeine possibly causing miscarriages and that some women had really early miscarriages and didn't realise that they were getting PG at all. I just wanted to rule it out.
I'm really into the decaf tea now and don't like normal tea anymore. I can recommend Tetley's decaf!

I'm not a tea or coffee drinker but I have to have my cola or I'm a grouch Luckily I've managed to cut down to one a day, and unless my Dr. insists I have to quit that's probably where I'll stay

i've read conflicting stuff too...
one place said that half a cup of tea on a morning boosts fertility and others say too much caffine reduces fertility.....I'm guessing that it's fine so long as you don't go daft
Ohh I hope not....I love coffee....
