Does Occasional Smoking Of Male Partner Affect The Chances Of Pregnancy
I and my husband are trying to get pregnant, but I recently found out that my husband is still an occasional smoker. Will that effect the chance of us getting pregnant? and will it effect the baby if we do? how long should we wait to try again after if he stops smoking entirely?

Hi.
Smoking will not effect the baby, but it can effect his fertility and sperm quality. It is always better to cut off smoking, and in my opinion this would be the right time for it, as you as a couple are trying to conceive, and also so that he does not smoke with the baby around or while it grows up.
Best wishes.
