So in my opinion; the best to not to risk and skip coffee. Going through IVF is not fun. Needles + worries + waiting times + side effects of the hormones. You don’t want to do multiple rounds. If you can do IVF, you are a hero and also can skip the coffee. :)
thanks for the info Melanie
Nice point!
Thanks for sharing your very valid thoughts Reni! Definitely agree those going through IVF are superheroes and the short term avoidance of caffeine is small (relative) sacrifice!
So coffe is good for fertilise egg ?
Thanks
You're welcome!
how do you know how much caffeine is in your cup of coffee?
You'll have to look at the type of coffee, where you got it from, how it was processed and how much you used
Does one cup ofcappuccino affect fertility? implantation?
excellent commentary supported by scientific evidence.
Thank you for your feedback Sarah :)
@@NourishwithMelanie does coffee affects sperm quality?
@@jairathor5820 The evidence regarding caffeine consumption and sperm quality is inconsistent. Therefore, the recommendation is to enjoy caffeinated drinks in moderation.
@@NourishwithMelanie Thank you for information and clearing my doubts,😊
Does this applying to men?
In my culture we drink a lot of tea is too included too?
Yes, tea does contain caffeine. Some herbal teas however, do not have caffeine.
Should you quit coffee only when you want to conceive?
It is also recommended to limit caffeine consumption during pregnancy, as excess caffeine can lead to complications.
How much caffeine is in Matcha or green tea?
Green tea has approximately 11-25mg/g of caffeine and matcha has approximately 19-44mg/g. It depends a lot on what brand you are using. This journal article has some more information: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7796401/
-do men need to stop as well?
Thank you for commenting! While there is limited evidence on correlation between fertility and caffeine intake in men. I recommend erring on side of caution, and sticking to two cups of coffee per day.
