I have two beautiful daughters and that is enough for me! I love my girls more than anything. But after two very difficult pregnancies ,I am happy with the family I have. For a lot of my friends, however, they are hoping to have their first child or second or third. Some interesting research was published today! While not conclusive, this research suggests that there may be a link between caffeine consumption and delayed conception.
This isn’t the first study either to link caffeine and infertility. Previous research showed the equivalent of 3 cups of coffee a day lowered your chance of conceiving by 27%. So if making a baby is your priority, it might be worth a shot to cut back on the caffeine.
Just an example of the caffeine in a cup of your typical homebrewed coffee is about 100-140 mg depending on how you make it...that would mean 300 mg from the 3 cups that were cited in the earlier studies. So look at what you drink and figure out if it will make a difference. While it may not be the answer, cutting your caffeine can't hurt!
Here is a link to a caffeine chart that might be helpful.
