Answer 1

Caffeine has shown to cause a higer risk of diabetes in children and women conracting gestational diabetes during pregnancy. I have also heard don't know how true it that it ups the chance of misscarriage. I am now 13 weeks pregnant and we TTC for 3 years!!! However, I know that if you drink it in moderation its not going to hurt you. My ob has me sip on a little caffeinated tea and take a couple tylenol when I get migraines and irronically it really works.

Heres a link to some other stuff you should avoid http://www.bygpub.com/natural/pregnancy....

Answer 2

Im not sure, I have never heard that because even when you are pregnant your allowed a small amount of caffeine per day. I can't imagine caffeine would really be the cause of you not conceiving. Anyway, Good Luck!!!  

Answer 3

i was never told that. when i was ttc they told me to limit the intake. when i was pregnant it was limiting too, not completely avoiding.

i conceived on my 2nd month of clomids. so don't lose hope. good luck
