I dont know what amounts can hurt a potential baby or chances of conceiving, so for the most part I dont drink alcohol at all while I am fertile and during that 2 week wait (which gets frustrating when I get that BFN). Ive also been cutting back on caffiene. I dont drink or smoke, so caffeine is my "addiction: and I am finding it hard to stop altogether, especially with work and my last semester at school.
Should I stop having caffeine while TTC?
If not, when should I stop?
Should I stop altogether or just cut back?
What about other things like dying my hair and second hand smoke and all that stuff pregnant women worry about?
(Im in the middle of the 2ww again and getting paranoid;) )

you don't need to stop, just cut back. 2 cups a day, no more than 300 mg of caffene. You can dye your hair anytime you want, its just an old wives tale. Avoid second hand smoke even if you were NOT ttc.

I stopped drinking a month before i tried my friend was drunk when she got pregnant. Your boyfriend should stop drinking too take folic acid and they say that caffiene really doens't do anything and milk could be much worst.

If you are actively TTC, you should do everything you would or wouldn't do while pregnant.
And don't forget your vitamins!
