Anyone having a hard time not drinking coffee, tea or soda pop? I don't have sodas very often but still drink them too much! I have at least a half cup of coffee with milk and sugar in the mornings. I guess it is too much of my morning routine. I try to drink water with all my meals and usually do a good job. But sometimes....I just drink way too much caffeine. <~~~ mmmmm

I know, it's hard - Have you tried Decaf coffee? It still gives you the taste...just cuts out the caffeine?

I have to admit that I drink fizzy pop and coffee when I want to.....after 3 years of TTC and stuff, I kinda give up on the "I'm not eating/drinking x til I have a baby" BUT I don't drink coffee very often anyway, maybe once or twice a month and I usually drink water or juice.....though these past few weeks I've been going through a fair bit of bitter lemon, I've become obsessed with the stuff....I go through phases where I just can't get enough of summit and this time it's bitter lemon, ironic really cause I used to screw my face up at it once over....DH reckons it's that adult taste thing

I have stopped having normal coffe and started drinking Decaff ones. It needs a while until u get used to it, and you actually do and start liking it.

I have stopped drinking diet soda. I am a diet coke addict. I stopped it bec first it makes me feel huge full of gas, and second I dont think its good while TTC. I know it's ok to have it with moderation, but I prefered just dropping it for good.

I am not much a coffee fan, but at work I do drink in the morning my Nescafe. In my last TTC process, I started drinking green tea, it's good for TTC and it's tastes ok.

Try making some changes if you dont feel ok with them.
Good luck!

Yeah I am totally addicted to soda esp ones with caffeine in them...I'm trying to do better (had two big glasses of water with brunch today instead of coffee or Coke) but I admit i bought a bottle of my beloved Coca Cola for one last hurrah before I cut off completely (or at least down to one single 8 oz. or less glass a day or every other...old habits die hard!!) after New Years lol...so you aren't alone!

Repeat after me...."Many women snort crack and later discover that they are pregnant". A half a cup of coffee every day and a diet coke at lunch are not affecting your fertility. I agree, it's always wise to cut out as much as possible....but don't beat yourself up over your caffeine intake. TTC is difficult enough as it is...

Agree with above....

I could try decaf but it is hard since my DH loves coffee. I have had decaf and it does taste different but more like regular when you add milk/sugar. I LOVE green tea...but that has caffeine in it too...but it is healthy for you, with antioxidants. I drink it every now and then, especially when fighting a cold. I just always want caffeine, chocolate is my weakness..mmmm chocolate!!! I have been just drinking bottled waters and juice at home, but here and there I have a soda or starbucks coffee...still isn't good when you are trying to get your body prepped for ttc.

i agree with capitalchick....i love my diet soda

i have to say i love fizzy drinks and i havent stopped drinking them, i was drinking them when ttc and i'm still drinking them now i'm preganant, when i was ttc i didnt change anything about what i drink or eat, now i'm preganant i do eat more healthly but on the other hand you do really crave naughty foods more and if your craving them you have to eat them, i wouldnt worry 2 much i'd start thinking about changing once you know your preganant
