SG says no caffeine during the entire pregnancy. Seems a bit draconian to me. If my pregnancy is so fragile that a cup of coffee will do it in then count me out.

I don't think you should say SG. My RE from SG said it is fine to drink coffee during pregnancy and I did.

This is what the SG website says.

I drank caffeine throughout my treatment and pregnancy.

I didn't. My RE said something to me about treating myself to a latte after my retrieval since I wouldn't be able to drink it after they implanted later that week. Had she not said that I would have drank (a little) coffee after the transfer.

Yes. But not a lot. Just one cup a day over 4 IVF and 3 IUIs.
Anecdotally: that includes the cycle I got pregnant but later miscarriaged. (And coffee had NOTHING to do with it, chromosomal abnormalities did.)
The cycle I switched to decaf, I had a PGS normal embryo and BFN.

Yup, before and after transfer and throughout pregnancy!

Yes, just stay under 200mg of caffeine per day. That's even okay during pregnancy. Seriously, do what you need to so you can keep yourself sane. You are going through a lot. Take care of yourself.

yes

Yes

Sure - why not?

Yes. A small cup.

Can't I have at least one cup of coffee??
