Some clinics say no caffeine, others say a little is okay.
Avoid IVF and surrogacy in Ukraine. Ukrainian centers pay shills to post here under numerous sock accounts pretending to be patients in Ukraine. Centers using such deceptive advertising cannot be trusted and should be avoided.

I have always heard no alcohol during stims and limit to 1 cup of caffeine. Before stims, I have never heard and official quote from a Dr. not to drink alcohol or caffeine.

Good Luck!

I think it is probably better to not risk anything so that you can't regret it later or blame yourself at all. So I started decaf and no alcohol for me. Probably eat a healthy diet as if you were pregnant, so don't forget to limit your consumption of high mercury fish!
good luck!

I cut all caffeine and alcohol out once i started lupron. I read a lot about caffeine and infertility and just didn't want to chance it. I have no idea if it mattered or not, but I got my BFP on this cycle!

Best of luck to you :))

ps- remember chocolate has caffeine. it was really hard to come off caffeine. i had a headache and was is in a pretty bad mood for about a week (the hormones don't help, ha)! but now i don't even miss it :)

Zitinia - I was told to limit my caffeine to one cup a day but I am not a coffee drinker anyway but I do have the occasional piece of chocolate (still do, even now that I have my BFP). But, I stopped all alcohol once I started Lupron because the two combined made me feel light headed and have a severe headache (believe me I tried … lol). I actually followed the same protocol both times that I got my BFPs.

Good luck to you!
