when to stop caffeine/alcohol/etc

Post by leorira11 »

New IVF cycle coming up and a weird question-

I know that you are supposed to avoid caffeine and alcohol when pregnant... but when should I stop? during the whole IVF cycle or just after the transfer (or a few days before transfer)?

Amazing how obsessed I get over these little, stupid things...

thanks!

Hi there,

I stopped caffine and alcohol on the day i started my meds for down regulating though i would recommend you weaning yourself slowing off the caffine as you can get some nasty headaches i switched to half calf coffee then caffine free and stopped that too on day of starting meds. Dont forget sodas and choco. contain caffine but i will admit i didnt abstain from them :lol: Best of luck in your cycle xxx
