Uggg First Coffee Free Day

I've been cutting back over the past week but today is my first "Coffee/caffine Free Day" and I feel like a SLUG!!! Luckily the cutting back helped with the headache, I only have a dull, feels like I stayed up too late, my cranium is too tight feeling headache and want a nap.

Anyone else?

I'm not a coffee drinker, but when I gave up soda it was real hard. First it was cut back on caffeine soda. Now i'm at the stage of drinking more water. So far so good...and I feel better!

Goodluck!

Thanks, luckily I'm not a soda person. Growing up soda was a "Treat" and caffinated soda was never offered, so I never developed a taste for it. To this day, I'll choose water first.

But those morning cups of coffee..........that's another story.

Wow - only a week and you're down to none...you're a brave girl! :) I'm cutting back on my coffee at a much slower pace than you. I've been drinking half-caff for awhile now, and just recently started mixing 1/2 half-caff and 1/2 decaff to make my morning coffee. So, technically, I'm driking 1/4 caff, I guess (it's late...my math might be off!).

I don't know if I'll ever be able to cut it completely out. Such a hard habit to break! I'm kinda hoping that I'll be one of those people who, when I get PG, won't be able to stand the smell or taste of coffee. I would miss it, but then at least I could quit! :)

Good luck to you! Just wanted to say I'm very impressed with your determination!

I was a caffeine addict. Soda, coffee, you name it, I drank it! I started having anxiety attacks and it was attributed to my caffeine intake. I stopped cold and never had any withdrawals. I guess I was lucky because my body decided it didn't want caffeine anymore. So giving up caffeine was a good thing and just an added extra for TTC!

Good Luck to everyone!
