Smoking can affect both your fertility and that of your partner.

A new thread was started just yesterday with ways of how to quit smoking and what has worked for others - you may wish to check it out on http://www.bubhub.com.au/community/forums/showthread.php?t=16707

Best of luck if you choose to quit !:thumbsup:

Yep smoking does reduce your chances of conceiving. It was one of the first things my specialist told me to do when I went to him to go on infertility drugs. He said apart from the drugs the two best things I could do were to quit smoking and lose some weight. and if you think about it then you would already have quit when you fall pregnant - you wont have to deal with hormones and nicotine withdrawal at the same time.........
good luck
