I used to drink coffee everyday (maybe only 2 cups per day) but I gave it up completely over a year ago.
Been taking prenatal vitamins for over a year.

Waiting for my rainbow baby!
I gave up soda a few years ago for a funny health reason, never drank coffee -- so, basically I've been watching out for soy more and I don't eat sandwiches just about ever. Though, I did demand we get deli sandwiches this weekend as they are one thing I love the best.
I've tried a whole slew of natural supplements over the months, but now I'm just down to prenatal vitamins and vegetarian DHA.
Lucky Cycle 14: IVF!! Antagonist Cycle with Lupron Trigger

Old Mama's post made me think about my TOTAL breakdown a bunch of cycles ago. I drink a glass of chocolate milk every morning. I realized, like seven months in, Duh! Chocolate = Caffeine. Total and Utter FreakOut Begin. After a lot of crying, I'm sure, but can't totally remember, I realized one glass of chocolate milk (or bowl of ice cream) is not the devil. It is not the straw that is breaking the fertility camel's back.
Don't worry!

Oh I meant like eating, drinking & so on. Pineapples, juices, cough medicine, teas. I did try to increase water & eat healthy. I tried all of the suggestions you can think of & none of the cycles worked. The cycle I got by BFP ( after 11 cycles) I did nothing. It was nice. Not doing all those things took some of the stress away. I did not need to think or worry about TTC daily. The first few cycles you think about it a ton it seems but the 11th not so much. The last cycle I just went with the flow & did not stress or try all of these suggestions.
