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-baby.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

Oh
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.
