Coffee

[Debahlgrim]

Ladies!!! I had my very first cup of coffee and didn't totally hate it! I have always loved the smell but could never stomach it. I only had 2 fl oz haha. Gotta start somewhere!

What is the smallest amount I could drink and make a different in my sway? Caffeinated? I put some milk and sugar in it and had it with dinner.

Hey! Ahh I was the same
Loved the smell but literally could not drink it
I started with small cups with milk and sugar
Then I took out the sugar and had less and less milk
Now it's been about 3 weeks and I am sat here drinking a POT of coffee (instant) with a dash of skimmed milk and abit of artificial sweetener
And I'm enjoying it.. a lot!
I actually crave it now and look forward to it every day!

And the extra energy is a complete bonus! I wish I had started drinking it years ago!!! X

I'm kind of afraid of getting addicted to it! Haha. So we should do full caffeine? [emoji848]

Follow up question - should I drink coffee AND peppermint tea, atomic? In my sway plan from last year it says I should drink 3 cups of peppermint tea a day. But we tried for 2-3 months and didn't get pregnant.

We don't know enough to know about the amounts necessary. I suspect that it varies by person anyway.

We don't know if it is the caffeine or something in the coffee itself and thus I recommend caffeinated coffee. But some have had decaf instead.

I would leave it out at this point.

Ok so just caffeinated coffee then? How much would you suggest?

Salted Carmel coffee, French vanilla coffee... all of these don't have nutrition facts. Do I assume no sugar, etc? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170708/f1f29e80a30c30101e551140ae29149c.jpg

If you like your coffee flavored/sweeter I use the sugar-free Torani coffee syrups. They aren't cheap but I can't drink black coffee either and the syrup & a little whole milk (I'm on PCOS LE) make my coffee just perfect :) I easily throw back 3 or so cups a day!! Not sure what I'm going to do when I'm preggo and have to cut back on the caffeine though! Eek.

I will have to try that! It doesn't hurt to drink these though right?

Yes I think that's just flavoring and not sugar or anything Deb! (and yum that looks mighty tasty)

If you mean will they hurt your sway I wouldn't see why they would. They're sweetened with Splenda (which I believe is thought to - if anything - sway pink) so if you don't like or are sensitive to Splenda then you would probably not want to use it.
