Yes, it is safe to drink one to two cups of green tea each day while trying to conceive, even during pregnancy. Green tea does contain caffeine, but less than half that of a cup of coffee, making it a safe and nutritious alternative to high caffeinated drinks. Green tea has many benefits including improving blood flow and circulation, acting as a natural anti-inflammatory and promoting wound healing.

Green tea has antioxidant properties due to its polyphenol content. Its consumption is not contraindicated for a woman who is seeking pregnancy. Once the pregnancy is established, its consumption should be moderated due to the content of xanthines.

Expert opinion from Cassia D Muller

Too much caffeine is known to impair fertility, and green tea contains caffeine. For this reason, one glass a day will not cause infertility problems, but excessive consumption can decrease a woman's chances of becoming pregnant.
