First, did you know you are posting as FAS? Look at your topic area.
I understand that coffee and all other forms of caffeine are known to thin your uteral lining making it more difficult to implant.

Try Peppermint Tea.  The smell wakes you up, it tastes good and it makes your breathe nice at the same time.  You will suffer from headaches at first but in a week or two, they will go away.
Good luck!

I found this info online...
Studies released in 1995 reported that caffeine significantly impedes overall female fertility. A Johns Hopkins University study found that women who consumed 3 cups of regular coffee are 26% less likely to conceive than women who consume no caffeine. Even drinking 1 or 2 cups of coffee a day reduces the chances of conception by about 10%. Other studies have confirmed this and have further indicted that caffeine consumption can interrupt the menstrual cycle and lead to early pregnancy loss in some women.

I always woke up and drank a cup coffee in the morning. After researching the effects I still have a cup in the morning but I switched  to decaf.

Hope this info helps!

Just an FYI....
I heard there are infertility risks with decaf coffee as well.......

They are slimmer, but still there are risks.  Coffee itself also has an enzyme not good for fertility.  Caffeine is not good for the lining.  This is what I have heard from several woman. So no chocolate either!

I switched to peppermint tea but I still crave coffee.

Yeah, I've heard that all coffee is bad for you. Decaf isn't as bad...but still bad enough. I'm down to one cup a day. I'm trying to stop drinking it all together!  I've already cut soda out of my diet.
