In an effort to improve my health, and potentially the outcome of my next IVF, I've given up caffeine.
Somebody, please? Give my head a shake? What the fuck was I thinking?!
I feel like crap. A big, steaming pile of
Sigh. I keep ripping his head off and shitting in the hole. Classy.
Then I got to thinking: how bad could one cuppa joe be for my egg quality, given that now I have to take tylenol every 4 hours to counteract the headaches? I mean, common! Tylenol's got to be worse for my health than caffeine, right? No? damn.
About once a day I have a glass of diet Coke. I thought I'd be craving that more, but really I've discovered it's the bubbles I crave - so I've started drinking sparkling water and Soda Water. (Yuck, I know. But after a couple of days you won't taste all that salt... hehe)
So as I now down my bowl of porridge with a nice glass of milk along with the contents of my chuck-a-block full old-lady pill dispenser for "Tuesday", all I can think is: I WANT MY FUCKING COFFEE.

Not that this helps - but I'm now a month caffeine free. I didn't go cold turkey - I was a huge Diet Coke drinker (so aspartame as well as caffeine). I weaned myself off slowly - one cup one hurt you now - but maybe have just half a cup next week.
I got over my pop addiction by drinking Perrier (I liked the fizziness).
Good luck - you can do it!
Superstore has a really good brand of fizzy water that is lightly carbonated and has no added sodium so it doesn't have that weird salty taste. It's their store brand--I drink it all the time. Maybe you'll like that better?
Thank you both so much for your encouragement and suggestions!
I'll be off to Superstore this weekend for some nicer sparkling water ;)
xo
Lol that is too FunNy bit good work girl!!!
Carbonated water...ick. Totally go for the less salty! You could always add a touch of crystal light to give a bit of a taste. Good luck and enjoy!
Coffee has been the haaaardest thing to give up while TTC ! If IF isn't unfair already... giving up coffee/caffeine makes it all the more difficult. Hope your withdraws improve. Love always xoxo
I like San Pellegrino for the fizzies , with a lemon/lime/orange slice or two.
Hugs! It will get better. The first few days are the worst!
