Does Drinking Caffiene Make Harder to Conceive?
Posted: 02-13-06 18:52pm

I was wondering if drinking caffienated drinks make you less fertile and harder to conceive. Ive been drinking way less already, also does sprite have caffiene? Thanks.

Sprite is caffeine free. I'm not sure if it affects fertility.

It is a little tougher to get pregnant when drinking a lot of caffine. I read it on a website. Even if you drink two or three small glasses of soda or coffee it could decrease your chances of getting pregnant.

Http://www.Having-a-b aby.Com/millenium.Htm

are you a coffee drinker? Time to give it up or switch to decaf! Caffeine is thought to restrict the growth of a developing baby by constricting blood vessels and reducing blood flow to the uterus. What's more, a few studies have indicated that excessive consumption of caffeine (that is, more than three cups of drip coffee per day) may contribute to fertility problems.

I hope this helps. Good luck

Since sprite is still a type of soda , though no caffeine in it, then I should avoid drinking too? It will decrease chance conceiving too?

I think that you will be ok if you are drinking caffeine free soda. I wouldn't worry about.

I drink coffee and tea everymorning. About 1 big mug. Do you think I am posing a risk here. Sometimes I do drink in the afternoon, maybe hafl a cup at most.

Babycenter.Com says no more than 3 cups of coffee or 6 caffinated drinks when you are pregnant. Not sure what the recommenation is for ttc. I am limiting mine to one cup of coffee or one soda a day.

Yeah, I think I better cut down. I know some gynea actually ask the patient to abstain from caffeine totally.

ginger ale
grape pop
red pop
orange pop

gatorade
juice
kool aid
milk
