Seriously, does caffeine matter?

Does it really matter if I have caffeine or not?
I was told to avoid it, and I've been pretty strict about it, but other things they said to avoid was nutri-sweet (as if I would use that stuff anyway)...

Are there any other things to avoid if doing IVF?

I was in 7-11 today getting a slurpee and Coca Cola was on my minddddd.

Pretty sure one can of soda a day wouldn't be bad... I think a lot of what they are referring to is people who drink A LOT of caffene. LIke two and three coffes and or sodas a day. Remember you can try soda without cafene...

Caffeine in excess can affect both the woman's and man's fertility. But, one cup/can a day of caffeine really isn't a big deal! Nutri-sweet is an artificial sugar, so that is just not good for you anyways lol.

Sugar in general, again, ok in moderation

Good luck!

Yeah, it is referring to those that live on caffiene. It is attributed to low birth weight/growth. I believe that you can have the equivalent to one cup of coffee, which is a little more soda....

Thanks!

I asked my doctor about it and she said one cup a day is fine.
