Should I avoid caffeine when trying to conceive?

[@Reni8705]

So in my opinion; the best to not to risk and skip coffee. Going through IVF is not fun. Needles + worries + waiting times + side effects of the hormones. You don’t want to do multiple rounds. If you can do IVF, you are a hero and also can skip the coffee. :) thanks for the info Melanie

Nice point!

[@NourishwithMelanie]

Thanks for sharing your very valid thoughts Reni! Definitely agree those going through IVF are superheroes and the short term avoidance of caffeine is small (relative) sacrifice!

how do you know how much caffeine is in your cup of coffee?

[@NourishwithMelanie]

You'll have to look at the type of coffee, where you got it from, how it was processed and how much you used

Does one cup ofcappuccino affect fertility? implantation?

[@NourishwithMelanie]

Current recommendations is less than 2 cups of coffee per day, so one cup shouldn't harm your chances of conception. However, as always I recommend speaking with you fertility specialist for your specific needs. Team Melanie x

Should you quit coffee only when you want to conceive?

It is also recommended to limit caffeine consumption during pregnancy, as excess caffeine can lead to complications.

-do men need to stop as well?

[@NourishwithMelanie]

Thank you for commenting! While there is limited evidence on correlation between fertility and caffeine intake in men. I recommend erring on side of caution, and sticking to two cups of coffee per day.
