I would stick to the sugar free one, if you're not having it with a meal.

[sassy86]

So if I only had lunch and dinner (2 meals) could i include the cofee with sugar as a meal? Or best to still just have the sugar free one?

[atomic sagebrush]

Yes, you absolutely could count it as a meal.

Thank you as always atomic for taking the time to reply

Can I ask if caffeine has any affect on the sperm, I know for dw coffee sways pink, I have tried to find info on coffee for dh but cant seem to find anything on this site about men drinking coffee, I know the old way of thinking was that men that dribk coffee produce more Male sperm but I'm not sure if that's still the case or has been debunked?

[sassy86]

Sorry not to worry I have just found an artical where you say cafferine doesn't sway blue

[atomic sagebrush]

I have seen NO reliable evidence that caffeine sways blue and plenty of evidence that indicates it may sway pink.

It was never that men who drink coffee make more male sperm, but more that the sperm swim faster which supposedly favors the Y sperm. But this is based on the notion that Y sperm swim faster, which has been debunked. It's also been proven that the fastest sperm that reach the egg immediately die upon getting there, for reasons we do not understand at all.

Ok great thank you, I'll get him to continue drinking double espresso, if only I could get him put jogging I would feel much happier but unfortunately he just doesnt have the time at the mthe moment he has even cancelled his gym membership

Dh has been using hottubs a lot lately which I'm guessing may actually help a little, but would it be ok for me to join him or is there a risk that the chlorine could interfere with me?

[atomic sagebrush]

Yes that should sway pink for him.

Some have suggested that hot tubs could affect pH - but the thing is, pH has not even worked for us at all so I think it is fine.

Do be aware though that hot tubs too often can cut odds of conception to nothing by killing off a man's sperm, and additionally you should not do a hot tub when pregnant.
