Default Green Tea?

I have seen everyone saying they are taking green tea and I am just wondering what exactly the benefits are with regards to PCOS/fertility/TTC'ing, etc? I have been drinking it - I am just wondering what it is doing for me! LOL

Thanks in advance!

Default Hard to say....

I would like to find out about any resources that are available regarding the topic of Green Tea and PCOS as well.

I am aware of the fact that many doctors and nutritionists claim that Green Tea in and of itself is supposed to have significant estrogen lowering properties. However, I know that caffeine has significant estrogen stimulating properties. In addition, I have read that there is a compound in Green Tea that counters the effects of caffeine. Thus, it would seem that Green Tea, if there is truth about the caffeine inhibiting compound, or simply if you drink decaf Green Tea, you would among other things be lowering your estrogen levels.

A different compound in green tea is said to be beneficial for weight loss.

Hello, I believe most women drink Green Tea to try to increase CM. I have been drinking the decaff kind and it has done wonders.
