There is nothing wrong with up to 200mg of caffeine during pregnancy, even in the first trimester. If you want to give it up because you believe it is interfering with gettting pregnant, that is your business. Nothing I have read anywhere or any advice from my doctor or nurse says that you can't have a cup of coffee or tea even after IVF during the TWW.

I know that we all want to believe that we can control this process to the extent that every little change we make is going to make the difference between getting pregnant or not or not miscarrying, but it just isn't true. For those of us that are on this IF road we lose a bit of perspective.

The cup of coffee (and I mean one cup, not the whole pot)or tea or that extra two or three trips up and down the stairs or the orgasm you had in your sleep because of all the hormones pumped into your body isn't going to be the reason why you do or don't get pregnant.

Before everyone jumps down my throat, I'm advocating common sense, not reckless abandon. I wouldn't drink alcohol or go horseback riding for example but really, a cup of tea?

I take Ginger tea for nausea, green tea a few times a week, not red raspberry in the first trimester.

Peppermint is always fine. Agree that one cup of caff tea a day won't hurt you or the pregnancy.
