Decaf???

So I'm floating away drinking my 3 liters or more of water each day, having my protein bars and getting and an egg a day..........but today I was REALLY craving an iced coffee (its about 98 degrees in Jersey!)

So, I got a decaf, OF COURSE, but I'm sipping it and feeling a little guilty..........It shouldnt be any issue to have decaf coffee during stims phase right? I know that sounds silly and obsessive but I just thought I'd throw it out there.......

I drank decaf during my stim period. My REs office said no caffeine, but decaf was okay. The one switch I'm recently making is that I'm buying my coffee beans from Whole Foods vs. Starbucks or any of the other chains b/c Whole Foods uses the Swiss Water Decaffeination process vs. using chemicals (yet another thing to worry about, sorry). But I did drink decaf throughout my 3 cycles... And in the early stages of my pregnancy too... but by the end of my first trimester, I cut out all coffee... and when I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, I was only drinking water and small amounts of milk! (Okay, I'm rambling. Sorry.)
