I've heard that you shouldn't drink it while ttc, too. I searched online for "green tea birth defects" and came up with a bunch of articles. Something to think about...

Drinking Green Tea aids your body in the production of healthy eggs, as for men and eggs im not sure.Just make sure that you are drinking DECAF! caffeine is not good for women who are trying to conceive

Hi, I am ttc also and heard that green tea may help you conceive. I saw some of you said it causes birth defects and I believe that is incorrect. The problem that could arise from drinking it are caffeine and the fact that it may lower the amount of folic acid you absorb (something we are supposed to load up on when we are ttc b/c it prevents birth defects). Hope this helps please give us feedback if anyone knows anything else:)

What are the dangers or negative effects of caffeine while ttc? I have wondered about drinking coffee while ttc but have not heard that it would hinder the outcome.

hi. i have a friend that works in a pharmacy and she got the lastest news on green tea. it has been shown not to be any more helpful while ttc. it has also been shown that drinking green tea while pregnant can cause complications in pregnancy.

Here's the latest on green tea. It does help with cancer, but the very same 'help' is what soaks up the folic acid. I would seriously either stay away from it or take it in extreme moderation (and up your dose of Folic acid)
