How much caffeine is too much?

The best data we have indicates that moderate caffeine does not sway either direction and higher than normal caff intake may even sway pink. While excessive caff intake is not good for pg, you are free to use a sane level of caff and many of us have found that it helps us stick to the diet to include caff. in our sway.
I got my DD with both my husband and I drinking the most caff we've ever conceived at, by far.!!! Questions??Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

I'm curious, Atomic - if we drink loads of caffeine while swaying, should we cut back once we're in the 2WW? I tend to get awful headaches from caffeine withdrawal, so I'm afraid of stopping it cold turkey, but I also don't want to harm a possible conception from happening by drinking lots of caffeine in the 2WW. What are your thoughts?
Also, how does NO caffeine sway? I'd love to cut the caffeine out altogether for my sway, but then I remember that I did that before conceiving both of my DS's, so it makes me nervous to do the same thing. Although, I was swaying hard for blue in other ways without even knowing it at the time.2008

Sweet baby boy, you are loved and missed more than you will ever know.
There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you and wonder what
you would have been like. I love you and miss you so much.
Rest now, my baby, in the loving arms of Jesus.
Biggest shock of our lives - surprise BFP! And it's a GIRL!!!

No caff would sway blue (or simply NOT sway at all) because it wouldn't affect your fertility negatively.
Whether or not to cut back on caff is your call to make. I know that there are studies that show increased risk of m/c with caff intake, but I personally think that other factors are way, way more critical (like folic acid, maternal age, etc). I think it's fine to switch to a reasonable amount of caff until you're sure you're not pg.
It's not that I'm advising people increase caff to unsafe or unhealthy levels for pink, I'm just saying you don't need to avoid it, and higher than usual caff intake did seem to get me a daughter.!!! Questions??Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

I was curious too about how much you drank Atomic. Also wondering if milk (or in my case, rice milk) added is enough to raise blood sugar if I'm drinking a cup between meals or in the morning.
