Too Much Coffee Reduces Odds of Women Getting Pregnant

news.bbc.co.uk — Drinking too much coffee can lower the odds of a woman with fertility problems getting pregnant, a study suggests. Dutch researchers followed 9,000 women who had received IVF to see if they fell pregnant naturally. Around one in seven did, but drinking more than four cups of coffee a day cut chances of conceiving by around 26%.

  • inactive, on 07/07/2008, -2/+30Makes me think that it is time to pick up women at the coffee shop. Less fertile-that is good.
  • GramarNazi, on 07/08/2008, -1/+21In other news, coffee consumption by high school girls is at an all-time high.
  • Devotia, on 07/08/2008, -1/+14Mountain Dew for me, Coffee for her, everyone wins!
  • dave122, on 07/07/2008, -1/+14want some more coffee honey?
  • lpmiller, on 07/08/2008, -1/+12But irish coffee makes it more likely you'll get lucky.
  • Syklopz, on 07/08/2008, -5/+14So does pulling out...
  • BrickTamaland, on 07/08/2008, -2/+10Utah has the highest birth rate in the US, Mormons are forbidden from drinking coffee.....
  • jesusfish, on 07/08/2008, -2/+9There's always a tradeoff...
  • noncn4mst, on 04/15/2009, -0/+7I thought that when I blocked a user, their posts wouldn't show up.

    Sadly, I was mistaken.
  • DerangedPenguin, on 07/08/2008, -0/+5In an unrelated university study "Too much beer increases the odds of a women getting pregnant."
  • inactive, on 07/08/2008, -9/+14Mexicans must not drink coffee.
  • ShitStainedBall, on 07/08/2008, -0/+4Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb!
  • inactive, on 07/07/2008, -2/+6Coffee: Nature's Birth Control. Should put that on the Starbucks coffee cups.
  • ericjohnson0, on 07/08/2008, -0/+4Sorry, Marcie for the tone of the responses. I think a lot of men have been trapped by GFs/ Wives that I think a lot of them just default to the old'Woo Hoo! This is GREAT!'
  • BossKey, on 07/08/2008, -0/+3Around here, that means attractive young professionals and college hotties, all on their late-model laptops.

    Sorry that it doesn't seem to be that way where you live!
  • copypastry, on 07/08/2008, -0/+3***** YEAH, COFFEE
  • burjzyntski, on 07/08/2008, -0/+3IT ***** WITH MY PUNCTUATION
  • Jauladeoro, on 08/27/2008, -5/+8So many anti-children comments. Kind of sad really.
  • inactive, on 07/08/2008, -1/+4Did any of you read the article? Coffee is not a contraceptive. Healthy women are not affected by drinking coffee. It only contributes to a woman's fertility if she is already suffering from fertility issues and undergoing IVF treatments.

    So unless you guys are all trying to weasle out of a baby after you've committed to IVF treatments, handing your gf a cup of coffee isn't going to do anything.
  • AugustZephyr, on 07/08/2008, -1/+4Maybe that is exactly what reduces the odds of them becoming pregnant...
  • ooshiny, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2It's more tongue in cheek, I certainly hope. I know my comment was. I've heard of the correlation between excess caffeine consumption and difficulty conceiving before; I think it's been shown to pose a problem even in men. Personally, I don't care if I can't conceive - I would prefer that. But if you're shelling out the money to have IVF you had certainly better heed every precaution out there.
  • CrackyJSquirrel, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2Only 4 cups? Pfft.. Amateurs. I Drink way more than that a day.
  • inactive, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2Utah is the Mormon world domination machine.
  • rukeypoo, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2I agree with bosskey, whats the problem with that?

    And it doesn't matter what type of girl they are, logic, you still won't talk to them.
  • Troy64, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2That should get her 4 cups.
  • jnuffnuffnomnom, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2Title fix: Digg reduces odds of women getting pregnant
  • LogicBomB, on 07/08/2008, -3/+5Only downside is that you are picking up the kinds of girls who hang out in coffee shops.
  • ieatpizza, on 07/08/2008, -4/+5IM DRINKING COFFEE RIGHT NOW ITS AWESOME
  • AutumnElayne, on 07/08/2008, -1/+2 - Barista for 10 years....drinks at least 4 strong coffees a day, doesn't take artificial hormones to disrupt her natural cycles, and gets laid a lot....oh, and is not pregnant.

    So, I'm just wondering if they have done this study on women who are not doing IVF.
  • imcoffeegirl, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1Awesome news! I'm going to start drinking two pots every day!
  • pitchblack16, on 07/08/2008, -1/+2i guess my ex really didnt wanna have babies
  • ericjohnson0, on 07/08/2008, -1/+2I'll step in and say this is not a bad thing, considering the alternative...

  • halze, on 07/08/2008, -2/+3haha...who really drinks 4 cups a day?? that's too much. plus- doesn't it say for women who are ALREADY experiencing fertility problems? geez..everything is bad for you.. including air, lemons, fresh produce, and your feather pillow. come on, people.
  • someology, on 07/10/2008, -0/+1Simply and older phrase that has fallen out of use in a lot of the US.
  • inactive, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1haha, nice.

  • mulge, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1gee, I'm surprised no one has asked for your contact info or where you work!
  • jesusfish, on 07/08/2008, -4/+5A firm punch to the gut should take care of both.


    Sorry, just had to say it! Please bury.
  • rukeypoo, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1I bet you are a ***** blast at parties.
  • Ratteler, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1As if I needed yet another reason to love coffee. Now if it could only make those less fertile women, hornier.

  • ImperialSoren, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1this cumming from a guy who constantly gets women pregnant by pulling out
  • Rouquine, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1British phrase
  • inactive, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1Why, because I take the time to actually know what I'm talking about before I make a comment? You must be that guy at the party--you know the one who runs his mouth and talks out of his ass all night.
  • therealkdog, on 07/08/2008, -2/+2Marked for my GF
