Hi Chavon--

I too, love my caffeine and still drank some during my IUI/IVF treatments and currently with my pregnancy. My R.E.'s office suggested no more than 50 mg/daily....I only got down to about 200 mg/daily. That is still where I am today and I'm doing well at 24 weeks 2 days.

Here's a site I use for reference on caffeine: http://www.cspinet.org/new/cafchart.htm

Best of luck to you!

Thanks for the link it is very helpful. I think I can get down to the 50 mg if I only do decaf when I drink and cut down the soda which I need to do anyway. Thanks for sharing your experience with me. That's kind of what I wanted to hear. Someone did drink caffeine and they still were able to conceive. I was afraid that I had been causing these failures by my caffeine consumption.

Hi Chavon:

I've never been able to tolerate caffeine so I can't help there but I wanted to wish you all the best in your journey. After 3 IUIs, IVF worked the first time for us in 2007--and now the second time. There is hope :-)
