Question About Green Tea ??? Posted: 06-12-07 09:12am
So I know that when you are ttc, that you
should really limit the amount of Caffine
that you consume. Also I know that it is
a good idea to drink green tea, because of
the anti-oxident that it provides. So I
have started drinking a cup of green tea
everymorning instead of coffee.
My question is...Does anyone think it
would be better if I switched to decaf
green tea so that I could cut the caffine
out as well?
I am willing to give it a shot, but
frankly I am scared that I won't be able
to function without my morning jolt to get
me going in the mornings.
Opinions????

My doctor said 1-2 cups (8 oz) of
caffienated drinks per day is fine, Before
and during pregnancy. I would say it
wouldnt hurt you to stick to the regular
green tea. I am a diet coke drinker and I
dont think I will ever be able to cut it
out completely. But I am going to try and
switch to something more natural like
coffee or tea too.

I have also read that drinking green tea
is good for your uterus. "They" recommend
drinking 2 - 3 cups daily. The study I
read about actually was based on
caffeinated green tea. I also read that
red-raspberry leaf tea is good for
boosting fertility. I try to drink at
least 1 cup of green organic tea daily.
cheers....

Maybe you could slowly wean yourself of
the caffeine. It would be alot easier that
just cold turkey. You could start by
drinking 3/4 caffeinated tea and 1/4
de-caffeinated tea. And just slowly work
yourself down. Then, on those mornings
when you need a pick-me-up drink a full
cup of the regular. Just an idea..

Thats what I did with coffee when I
stopped the caffeine before. I would buy
a pound of regular and a pound of decaf
and mix them up. I Think that I might get
some decaf green tea and keep that at work
and just use up my regular green tea at
home in the mornings. I am going to limit
it to just one cup before I go to work and
if I think I need more, then I can just go
for the decaf.
I think I have a huge fear of getting off
caffeine all together...I am just so used
to drinking it in the mornings to get me
going.
