Some studies suggest that high caffeine intake — commonly from tea, coffee, and some soft or energy drinks — may be associated with reduced fertility or a longer time to conceive, though the evidence is not entirely consistent and effects at moderate intake are less clear. Because of this uncertainty, many clinics advise moderating caffeine intake while trying to conceive or during fertility treatment, without claiming that avoiding caffeine will fix a fertility problem on its own. Discuss your typical caffeine intake, including tea and coffee habits common in Indian households, with your fertility team so they can give advice tailored to your situation.
