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!
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?
Current recommendations is less than 2 cups of coffee per day, so one cup shouldn't harm your chances of conception. However, as always I recommend speaking with you fertility specialist for your specific needs. Team Melanie x

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,😊
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.
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/
Does this applying to men?
Hi there, current research does align with Men decreasing caffeine intake in the lead up to conception and whilst trying to conceive. Team Melanie x
-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.
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.
Thanks
You're welcome!
