I was wondering if anybody knew why you're not supposed to have caffeine when ttc? I read that somewhere. It seems like I read that the women shouldn't have any, but the man can cause it speeds up his swimmers??? Sorry, dumb question.

I'm digging in my memory here, but there may be a link between caffeine and reduced fertility (I can't think of where I heard that). Mostly I think it's to get you off the stuff so you won't want it once you're pg, since it's not great for the baby especially in the first trimester. Hope that helps somewhat!

Caffeine is a dieretic- which means it makes the body rid itself of more fluid than it is intaking. Alcohol is also a dieretic. You want to be as hydrated as possible when TTC so you have good cm that is why you shouldn't over consume caffeine- everything in moderation though- a little won't hurt you! Just make sure you are drinking lots of water too.


HTH!
