I totally believe my DH forgets that not only does it take time to get pregnant in the 1st place but then takes 9 months to cook!!! He thinks we get pregnant and immediately have a baby - MEN pah!!

they only worry about the NOW - he's just excited that I'll give it up daily, sometimes muiltiple times a day during certain times ie: day of O). I don't think he realizes it's NOT cause I'm just so lusty for him (Let's face it I want him just not 3 times a day everyday!)

My DH is not giving it up at the moment he seems to think he has super sperm and if we have I will get pregnant and we will have a baby now!! Seriously as much as I tell him this is not the case and tell him about friends etc that have been TTC for 2 years etc he still will not give it up!! MEN!! Even his friend told him about how women are only fertile for 6 days of the month still stubborn!!

But I agree he should be fully keen on taking advange of all the on offer

I hope you catch soon

Does anyone know if with the drinking Green Tea, there's something actually in the tea or if it's the no caffeine? I've been drinking it every day but I only have Redbush tea or spearmint tea at home at the moment.

 

[baby_maybe]

Sorry hunni I don't. The only thing i'm aware of with green tea is that it irritates the bladder, or so a poster in my antenatal department would have you believe anyway.

I know Green Tea has antioxidants in it and no caffine but I do not know if there is anything else beneficial to TTC in it sorry!

 

[Needababynow]

I researched green tea a while back and several sites had the same/similar information. This seemed to be the consensus of why green tea is beneficial when ttc:

"Some research suggests that two of the main ingredients in green tea, hypoxanthine and polyphenols, may lead to a higher percentage of viable embryos. Other research has suggested that these compounds help increase the maturing of eggs, and may even make the eggs more fertile. In addition, polyphenols serve as antioxidants, which help protect your body from various diseases and other conditions.

Drinking green tea may even help not only with female fertility, but with male fertility problems as well. Some green tea advocates suggest that green tea may help with low sperm count, and even with sperm motility."

I haven't tried but I just started seeing a Chinese medicine specialist and she suggested I drink 2-3 cups (decaf) per day. I just started af yesterday and I am going to start the green tea regime today... KMFX!

that is very interesting I think I will invest in Green Tea when TTC comes around!

 

[everdreaming]

I love green tea! The machine at my old job did green tea with jasmine yummy. I'll definitely invest in some decaf soon

 

[Mrs Gibbo]

I drink Green Tea with Lemon at work although I've finished that off

 

[Twag]

So does normal Green Tea have caffine in it then? I thought it didn't as I have never seen a decaf version?

I like Green Tea with mint

I like Green Tea with mint

I think some companies add caffiene - not sure though. I bought the one that says "Naturally decaffinated"

Do you add the mint or buy one that already has it in it? I like fresh mint but not mint flavored things... Oh how I'm going to miss my coffee! This is day 1 no coffee and I'm already grumpy, good thing I'm on Spring Break or my kiddos would hate me!

I love these! I'll be using one


I found this on babycenter for green tea - it basically says that while there is no proof it helps fertility as such but it's anti-dioxin so has positive effects on the body which in-itself might help

Just read this and I'll be adding it to the cocktails of foods I'm already eating - as if dh didn't think my diet was weird enough!!

It is Twinnings Green Tea with Mint so comes already in it but it isn't as strong a mint flavour as the Peppermint tea!

I have been drinking Decaf tea and coffee for almost 2 years now to the point that if I have coffee with caffine in it makes me feel ill!!
