Going to drink Pepperimint Tea?

I need to test how this affects me but just wondering if you ladies are considering drinking this.  (those that are ttc'ing for a girl)

Thanks~

I haven't decided. I think I'll probably do everything. The first month.. Then slowly drop stuff.

 not drinking it.  don't want to take the chance that it'll mess w/ hormones (estrogen) since research is inclusive

I drink a few cups a day...I didn't know that there was a risk that it messes with hormones. What's that about?

Just bumping this as I would also like to know the answer - I have to drink some type of hot drink!

Hi , im not drinking it, i just cant stand the taste now matter what i do, i would though if i could swallow the stuff

 there was a thread on PT & in FAQs that the affects of it are unknown-may stabilize or raise estrogen which is a no-no for ttc girl

well newest info from tamara is that if pp tea raises temps by a lot, it's working for you.

if it raises by only a little it's no good for you

if it doesn't raise temps then it's no good

recommended to try it out for 6 weeks before you start swaying.

that's what I'm gonna do :)

I noticed a difference when I was doing all my "swaying testing" but I was drinking 3-4 cups throughout the day.  My plan now has been drinking it in place of my morning decaf coffee.   Warm and relaxing....kinda.    Also I add sweetner which helps the ph as well.   Not really watching how much I drink, but I am thinking that it at least doesn't hurt me at all with just a cup or two a day. 

If you want a hot drink how about plain hot water or hot cranberry with sweetner you get used it after a while that's what I've been drinking this month HTH.

hmmm...maybe I will try that!   I drink water and CL and room temp so maybe I could just warm up my crystal light a bit more.

hmmm. ,I don't want to mess around with my cycles, maybe I will just skip it

Also, I hate the stuff, haha

My cycles got significantly shorter the past 2 cycles (this current month excluded). I was excited because the total cycle days went from being in the high 30s to the high 20s. However, could this be do to so much peppermint tea? If so, would this indicate more or less estrogen?

I voted NO only because I'm currently taking Clomid. Peppermint tea would interfere with the Clomid. BUT- if I wasn't taking Clomid I would drink peppermint tea!
