    Coffee

    What's everyone doing with their coffee?
    White ? Black?
    Sugar ? Sweetener ? Nothing?
    Or does it not really matter ?

    I see a lot of girl mums drink coffee on the thread but does it matter what type?
    Xx

    I drink mine black so it's basically calorie free. Can't live without my morning coffee. I think I've read on here other girl moms and pink swayers drinking theirs with a little creamer or sugar/sugar substitute.

    I usually take caffeine pills bc I'm lazy and I also can only drink coffee with a fair bit of whole milk (1/4-1/3 of total volume). Black coffee is too harsh on my stomach, makes me nauseated, I also don't like the taste of it black. Sometimes I can drink high quality espresso with 2 teaspoons sugar...but never straight. So if I have coffee it's with meals. Then I can have a vanilla latte or whatever I want!

    Honestly I don't consume caffeine too frequently bc I build a tolerance to it so quickly that after a few days in a row it no longer stimulates me, instead it puts me to sleep! I'm already sleepy enough from my meds and pain, so I really hate that.

    My Ovulation Chart     currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

    I'm drinking coffee with creamer and splenda. I usually have 2 cups a day. One in the morning and 1 mid afternoon to curb my hunger.

    I always drank coffee with non-dairy creamer. I switched over to half and half at some point but I always drank coffee when I TTC my girls.

    Dumb question alert:
    I'm assuming this is caffeinated coffee for everyone right? That the caffeine is important for TTC Girl and decaf defeats the purpose...

    At the a moment I think atomic is saying she's not sure if it is actually the coffee or the caffeine that's working but something is going in the right direction!

    Thank u NbP! I tend to have it about 10am to keep me going until lunch xx
