Gave it up cold turkey this morning. I have never had such a horrible, pounding headache before. I wish I had more time cause it would probably hurt less to ween myself off slowly....
I am feeling really positive lately about taking steps to help me feel more in control of my next pregnancy. Just beginning my new rituals feels really empowering and hopeful that I may indeed be able to do this.
Hubby may be out of town the entire week when the big O arrives in October. Joy.

It took a few days for my headaches to go away. They were awful. But it was really empowering to feel like it was something else I could do to improve the chances for success of my next (this) pregnancy.
I get a lot of headaches... and migraines. I can tell you once I got over the hump, being off the coffee made me feel consistently better. And I LOVE coffee.
Tell that hub of yours to stay he freak home! Work related? Perhaps he needs to be "sick" during O time??
I am not a coffee drinker, but I have had to endure the withdrawls of friends. Stay strong . . .
Big owie! I feel your pain! I did the same (pretty much cold turkey) and I had horrible headaches, felt like I was going to puke and had NO ability to concentrate for the first few days. The bright side...it all passes in about 4-5 days and you'll feel GREAT afterwards! Best of luck to you...the hard part is over! :)
I took myself off caffeine slowly and although I avoided the pain I now wish I enjoyed my last cup a little more. I dream about ice tea and coffee ALL the time. I actually walk the aisles at supermarkets salivating at all the ice teas in a bottle they have (which I never drank before, only fresh brewed for me). It's crazy but I think caffeine is one of the major things I miss about pregnancy. I guess I'm not making you feel any better but I feel your pain. Sorry to hear about the hubby being out of town for Oct. Try not to think about it...maybe timing will work out after all. If not it's out of your hands.
