Pre-pregnancy
Smoking makes it harder to conceive, irrespective of which partner smokes.

Both female and male smokers have lower fertility levels, while adults who were born to mothers who smoked have less chance of becoming a parent themselves. Smoking also reduces the chances of IVF succeeding.

It's thought nicotine reduces a woman's fertility by affecting the production of hormones that are necessary for pregnancy. Smoking also impedes the transportation of the egg through the Fallopian tubes to the womb.

Male smokers tend to have a sperm count that is 15 per cent lower than that of non-smokers. Smoking can also:

reduce the amount of semen
harm the motility of sperm, ie their ability to move around
affect their shape.
Smoking can also affect the blood vessels that supply the penis, causing erection problems.

If you're trying for a baby, all of the above could impair fertility.

Quitting smoking will increase your ability to conceive and your likelihood of success with IVF

DH and I quit 5 months ago..or I would so quit with you! We got the inhailer from the doctors but it tatste like butt,,,,really nasty. I did a bit of looking around on the internet and it only takes 24-48 hours for the nicotine to leave your body. a bit longer for the rest of the junk. The nicotine is what makes you crave a smoke. So we decided to just suck it up and die for two days...then after that its just fighting the habbit of smoking. and after about a week you hardly notice at all...I smokes for about 10 years my DH for 15 , so YOU CAN DO IT!!!!it just cost to much to keep doing it

 

[babyhopes2010]

thanks for ur support here in the uk drs will give u everyhting to give up costs about 7-14 pound as nhs funds it x

 

[mommyof2peas]

yeah free health care would be AWSOME!!! Obama is trying...but so many people around here are afraid of change... I wish you alllll the luck in the world! If you have questions or wanna talk to somone who has been there.

A side note. I decided to quit, one because Of cost but two because I smoked though both my children as I was unable to quit. I did cut back though...anyhow both had low birth weight. and my son had a bunch of other problems when he was born....he only weight 5 10' and was having issues breathing...Had to go to NICU for about a hour after he was born. I didnt even get to hold him. Also he was about a month early because I had extra water...lots extra. All of this can be caused by smoking. I dont say this to scare you, but I still to this day feel guilty that I wasnt strong enough to quit when I needed too...so when we decided to try again it was the first thing on my list..PLUS like was said before not smoking HELPS concive lol

I hope I didnt sound too preachy!!!!( I hated that when I was a smoker lol)

 

[babyhopes2010]

No u dont sound preachy....lol

I want to give up b4 we concieve,i would have given up as soon as bfp anyway....
we have been ttc for 20 months now
My dh hates me smoking and would leave me if i smoke when pregnant. x

 

[Damita]

Omg I need a quit smoking buddy, I always thought I would wait until BFP but I am thinking I need to cut down and quite before otherwise it is going to be so hard..

It's not just me though DH smokes as well so that is going to be hard to get him to quit

 

[babyhopes2010]

well if ur seriously up for it! we will quit together x

[Damita]

I tried to do 100's or the longer ones then would smoke half at a time...helpred cut back also , suger free mints...when I wanted a smoke I would just pop one of those!like i siad though after a while we just went cold turkey as it was like taking off a band aid...always better to just rip it off
