I have no tips but I was consuming 8 or more diet cokes a day and I quit and about 6 weeks ago. Good luck!

Maybe chew some gum when you're craving it? I have only ever had to quit smoking so that is the only tip I know! Good luck!

I am not sure what your RE's instructions were, but mine said no more than 2 caffeinated beverages a day. So, having one to start my day doesn't make me feel too bad. If yours says you have to go cold turkey...well, I'm sorry. Could you switch to decaf, so you still feel like you're drinking it, but not getting the caffeine?

Switch to organic decaf and for the first couple days go 1/2 regular and 1/2 decaf as the headaches can be awful. Get thru a few days and then slowly wean off. I also found that caffine free teas are a plus for me. I too have had/am having to quit the smoking thing and while it is hell it is for the greater good and bigger goal!!

Good luck

I went to 1./2 and 1/2 and then decaf..Hubby got me regular today....Hope I don't get too antsy!

Right there with you! Each day I say I'm going to start and each day I fail! I love my morning coffee....that leads into the mid morning...into the afternoon. I searched on the internet for some ideas. I found recommendations for hot water with lemon slices, warm low sodium chicken broth....anything like that will make you feel like you have that warm beverage in hand. Tea is also lower in caffeine that coffee, but only some are safe for pregnancy. I just asked my hubby to buy me a keurig single brew coffee maker for christmas so I can do 1 cup of decaf or such. When you brew a whole pot of regular coffee it's sometimes hard to pass up!!! Good Luck!

I believe everything in moderation, I don't drink soda or juices so my drinks of preference are water, tea and coffee (no more than 2/day) I take organic decaf and regular and sometimes I mix them. Another alternative is green tea, low in caffeine and great health benefits. Good luck!

Hello! Fellow coffee lover here! I now drink non-caffeinated green tea. It really satisfies my craving for that warm coffee cup in the morning. I found the sensory/habit more of a struggle than the actual loss of caffeine rush.

You can do this!

Thanks, you are right I think it is the habit more than the caffiene I am into, the smell the taste and the treat of it.
I will try cutting down first and then swapping to decaf and tea and maybe some green tea.
The Starbucks lady told me that caffiene makes you hold onto fat so giving up will make you lose weight so that has motivated me a bit.
I should be okay as I have only had one coffee shop coffee today and I am fine!!

I agree with Green tea- even drinking regular green tea at first, not just de-caf stuff. I have read many places that Green tea helps with fertility, so that's a bonus. I've tried something called Green Chai tea - it is very delicious and satisfied my craving for coffee in the morning as well!

I switched to decaf when we went for our first IVF in 2010 and been there ever since (It worked, DD was born, we BF) and now we are trying for #2

I went all in. One day just switched it out. Had a headache on and off for two days, and that was that. Good Luck!

When I gave up coffee, I struggled. But honestly it was 4-5 days of headaches and frustration... I am now 4 months into no coffee and I am good to go. I don't like tea, but I am really into Hot Cocco and Hot Apple Cidar.
GOOD LUCK

I gave it up with my first IVF cycle and cold turkey worked best for me. The headaches stuck around for a few days but they were gone pretty quick. It was easier than I expected. Good luck!

I'm not a coffee drinker, but I've gotta have my caffeine, too. In order to give up pop, I started drinking 5 hour energy. Its a lot of vitamins and no more caffiene than one cup of coffee in a whole bottle and a bottle lasts me 3 days. I literally have a sip in the morning and a sip after lunch. But I'm not sure the medical stance on this one. Has anyone discussed 5 hour energy with their doc?

I was never a coffee drinker, but I did love my soda and energy drinks. I was drinking 4-6 sodas a day, sometimes more, and drinking 3-4 redbulls or Monsters a day. Crazy. but it's been about a year and a half since I drank anything caffeine or anything with so much sugar. I started off by not buying it and only drank it if I went out to eat. after awhile I realized a month had passed since I had any and I didnt want to ruin that. So far so good. I dont think there is an easy way.
