Just wondering if anyone has tried using Green Tea and been successful when conceiving. I have been drinking a cup or 2 a day since my last period. I am past ovulation now and still drinking it. I know that there has been some mixed ideas about it and folic acid, so I have been taking Folic Acid Supplements as well.
Do you know anyone that has tried this and succeeded? (or perhaps yourself) I have read some stories about how some women have used green tea when ttc and conceived that month.
Thanks in advance!

I found some information on the subject for you:
In the past, women having difficulty conceiving might have been advised to limit their caffeine intake. But recent studies suggesting that stimulating drinks, and specifically green tea, might boost fertility. In a study conducted at Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program of Northern California in Oakland, researchers found that women who drank more than one half cup of caffeinated green tea every day doubled their odds of conceiving. No significant association was found for other caffeinated beverages; therefore researchers concluded that a chemical component of tea other than caffeine might have been responsible for the increase in fertility.
