OP here-- thanks everyone! I think I will give it up during ovulation and two week wait, and then have some nice coffees as a treat during my period. The one time I previously got pregnant happened to be a cycle in which I had given up caffeine, so maybe it makes a difference for me.

BTW, you can have caffeine during pregnancy. Go read Expecting Better. She totally debunks the "recommendations"

I gave up all caffeine before trying to conceive. Since I cannot prove a negative, I can't say whether it helped or not but I did get pregnant the first month we were trying.
