If you are like most women, you probably turn to a big, hot cup of coffee at least a few mornings a week to give you that morning “pick me up” to help you get on your feet. But, a big question remains hanging overhead: is coffee (and other caffeine products) good or bad for fertility? The most common answer is that caffeine is not good for fertility, and that women should avoid coffee and other caffeinated products when they are trying to conceive.

However,the subject is controversial because while some studies have shown a connection between increased caffeine intake and decreased fertility, other studies have not shown a connection. Even more confusing, some studies have even shown that coffee, believe it or not, can actually be helpful when it comes to fertility and getting pregnant, so this is something to keep in mind as well. Many doctors also have conflicting opinions, which means different doctors give different advice to their patients,which doesn’t help matters any and actually complicates things a great deal.
Many studies show that in laboratory animals, the ones who were subjected to caffeine had a much harder time getting pregnant as opposed to the animals who were not exposed to caffeine. This is because it was harder for the caffeinated animal’s eggs to pass through their fallopian tubes. It could be done, however, it was just much more difficult. This could explain why it sometimes takes women longer to get pregnant if they are caffeine drinkers.
However, there are multiple studies out there that show that caffeine doesn’t affect pregnancy in virtually any way, and that it is safe to consume while trying to conceive and also after becoming pregnant. Right now, the information and the research out there regarding this sort of thing is very limited and more information is being learned all the time. The study of caffeine and fertility is a very big deal and scientists are trying to see what it all means.
All of this conflicting advice and information can be very confusing for women who are trying to conceive. The best advice? Be careful in whatever you do when trying to conceive, and when pregnant. If you are doing something, eating something, drinking something, going somewhere, etc, that you think could potentially have a negative effect on your fertility, you might want to err on the side of caution and just skip it.
However, most doctors and experts agree that when it comes to caffeine, a little bit is okay when it is in moderation, so if you simply must have your morning cup of joe, have one, and leave it at that. Of course, talk with your trusted doctor for more information and to find out what he or she has to say about caffeine while trying to conceive.
