Caffeine during IVF?

My doctor said one cup of coffee or tea a day is okay (8 ounces). I started my stim phase on Thursday and have been having one cup of irish breakfast tea a day (I don't let it steep for very long).

Shot Tips

My IVF start date was last night and the shot burned pretty bad. It really did hurt. Anything I can do to make this better from now on. My shot is three bravelle and one menapur. The nurse told me that the menapur would sting.

Re: IVF in Saint Augustine, FL

I'm using FIRM right now. I hope I have luck with them. I'm completely fine reproductive health wise and am 30 years old.
