My DH smokes. I personally dont, but i dont judge. We are currently ttc baby #2. Will this decrease our chances? No negativity please. He does not do it around myself or our daughter.
"Marijuana has been said to interfere with the production of hormones associated with reproduction, causing possible infertility among adult users and delayed sexual development among adolescents.
THE FACTS
There is no evidence that marijuana impairs male reproductive functioning.
The Jamaican and Costa Rican field studies detected no differences in hormone levels between marijuana users and non-users. In epidemiological surveys of marijuana users, no problems with fertility have emerged as important.
In 1974, researchers reported diminished testosterone, reduced sexual function and abnormal sperm cells in males identified as chronic marijuana users. 34 In a laboratory study, the same researchers reported an acute decrease in testosterone, but no chronic effect after nine weeks of smoking; they did not evaluate sperm volume or quality. 35 In other laboratory studies, researchers have been generally unable to replicate these findings, 36 although by administering very high THC doses - up to 20 cigarettes per day for 30 days - one study found a slight decrease in sperm concentrations. 37 In all studies, test results remained within normal ranges and probably would not have affected actual fertility.
Severe adverse consequences have also been produced in male laboratory animals, although only with extremely high daily THC doses. 38
More importantly, in both the human and animal laboratory studies, all observed changes were reversed once THC administration was halted."
It depends on who you ask, really. If it worries you, could he stop while you TTC for a better peace of mind?
@waitingformybaby dont believe everything you hear hun. the docs also told me it takes up to a year to get preggo after getting off the DEPO and after 3months trying I got preggo. Most things are rated by statistics Well after the research is done and how would we know which part of the statistic we are unless its obvious.
Before i got pregnant with my son. I was smoking all day everyday so was my hubby. I now have a 7month old son. i also smoked maybe 3 times while preggo it helped witj the morning sickness. Since i had Isaiah i hardly smoke.

But I also read somewhere it says if a man keeps his cell phone in his pocket, close to his penis, it does as well..
