I do love my cup of coffee a day and when I don't have that I drink black tea so I don't get a headache. But I like that you said that you will drink it occasionally, just not when ttc or pregnant. If I know it is only for a time, I think I can handle it. I really should give it up and become just a social coffee drinker when not ttc. *sigh* I miss it already!! I’m catching up on some of your old posts.

I had to stop drinking my diets cokes because all the junk in them were making my hands and feet go numb and lose sensation. Then my parents owned a coffeehouse and I quickly replaced the habit with coffee! I still love my coffee, but never drink it everyday, and never while I'm trying to conceive or while pregnant. The risks just aren't worth it. I'll have to look into teeccino - never heard of it!<br/><br/>Some of the info I've got for this post were out of a couple books, here's the link to a study published earlier this year(broken so it'll fit)<br/>http://ckp.kp.org/newsroom/national<br/>/archive/nat_080121_caffeine.html I was horrible with caffeine when I was younger.

I lived with a girl who was always chugging either diet coke or coffee, so I picked up a lot of her bad habits. That summer, I realized what had happened as I began enduring excruciating headaches. It scared me so much that I quit cold turkey! I continued to drink coffee occasionally (I love plain lattes), but a couple of years ago I gave it up completely for health reasons (even caffeine-free coffe is highly acid-forming). If I drink caffeine now, I feel so, so sick. <br/><br/>Since I love the flavor of coffee, I recently began experimenting with Teeccino. I LOVE IT!! Have you tried it? It's an "herbal coffee" that's full of minerals and no caffeine. I love it with some lightly warmed raw milk or in a "frappuccino" with raw milk and some stevia. Heaven!
