Mt.Dew??!!

[TTC_KY25]

 I just read in another post something about Mt.Dew being bad for you getting pregnant! I've never heard of this so I wondering.......what makes it bad for TTC and who does it affect? I'm a Mt.Dew-acholic!   :/

Im not sure. I thinks it the caffeine that's bad for you I hear but I drank soda especially mountain dew before I got pregnant and drank it while pregnant with no problems. So maybe it affects everyone differently.

They say or effects the male but not true my boyfriend drank it all the time and I'm 6 weeks pregnant now!!!

It has a lot of caffeine.  Mt. Dew is probably one of the worst sodas you could drink....TTC or not.  I think it's the same that applies for coffee.  I would just maybe cut back if you drink alot.  Good luck this cycle.

I haven't seen or heard any problem with it. When you are pregnant your supposed to limit caffeine intake to less than 200mg but other than that the only thing about mt dew that i knew about is that if you dip an hpt into it, it can turn positive ( when I was on this board--i am lurking now, there's a gal that tested it with a couple different sodas and juices) interesting stuff

I have heard that it lowers sperm count but who knows if it's actually true.

Someone told me its the yellow dye or whatever its called I dont believe it though. my husband and I dont dont drink it or really any caffeine at all and im still not pregnant lol

I heard the caffiene especially is bad for you but thats for any pop, and I heard that if your man drinks it it can lower his sperm count or slow them down

Caffeine supposedly increases the risk of a m/c in the first trimester

I drink ALOT of mt dew. I never drink water. However when I was pregnant with my son I limited myself to 1 a week. My doc told me that pop in general is not good due to the sugars and dyes. It was very hard!

 I don't know if I can give Mountain Dew up. It tastes so good! I won't give it up while TTC, but if I ever get pregnant, then I will give it up.
