I use the Twinings brand. I also use EPO to increase CM as well as cough medicine (with the ingredient Guaifenesin) which loosens mucus, it seemed to work for me as my CM definately increased.

| Mum (Mom) Chat Happy BnB Member  Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: Norfolk, UK Posts: 1,587 | Hi girls I just bought the book "What to expect before you're expecting by Heidi Murkoff and it says: "That cup of green tea may be brimming with health benefits, but should you go green when you're trying to make a baby? Maybe not. Green tea decreases the effectiveness of folic acid (ironically found in green leafies), a vitamin that's vital to the healthy development of your soon-to-be baby, and one of the nutrients that you should be getting your quota of during your baby prep phase. So its smart to limit yourself to a cup a day (or a glass of iced) while you're TTC, or switch to a black brew." Hope that helps  |
