Green tea

[Sunflower1]

I have been reading about how green tea can help with conception. Does anyone drink green tea as part of TTC?

Got AF today on 18 cycle of TTC...it's feeling a bit hopeless. Coming off my low carb diet now in case that's having a bad effect on fertility. Getting a bit desperate. Am 42 in 4 months.

Green tea can be very high in caffeine so for me it's an absolute no no. It can be higher than coffee I believe.

Hope someone else can help more, It's just the first thing my midwife said not to drink, then red bull or energy drinks, then coffee, then tea and fizzy drinks.

Fx you can find something that works xx

I've never tried green tea. I don't drink regular tea/coffee (just never have and don't particularly like either, nothing to do with TTC). I had read about good things for conception (can't remember where) but due to the high caffeine I would have thought it was best avoided?

Green tea stops the body absorbing folic acid so I'd say no too! Hope you're not waiting too much longer xx

I was only thinking of a small cup a day. I don't currently have any caffeine.

Here is the kind of article I have been reading

Do any of you drink any of the other herbal teas mentioned? I have nettle.

I've had a little look into this and all I can find is anecdotal evidence from sources of low trust.

I have however found lots saying to be cautious of green tea so when there are other better researched things like agnus castus, I would probably steer clear of green tea, even decaf, but that's just me.

Okay, thanks. x

Okay, thanks. x

I don't know if there's anything in it as can't prove anything, but I had a chemical last cycle and someone mentioned baby aspirin for those who are prone to blood clotting. I really am, whole family jokes about it, so I started taking 1 baby (75mg) aspirin a day with my folic acid and I've caught again and got bfp at 12dpo.

Really hoping this one sticks, but my line is getting stronger than last few days whereas last cycle, line was good at 8dpo then started getting fainter.

Thanks! Turns out my husband has already got me some green tea. I will try it for a month or two, just one weak cup a day. Will report back if it helps. I hope it sticks for you! xx
