effects of Marijuana On The Male Reproductive System

[Casto]

my wife and i are planning on having a baby, but iam concerned, that i used to smoke marijuana,,,, its beinng a month since i quit smoking,,,,

IF MY WIFE GETS PEAGNANT WILL THERE BE ANY EFFECTS ON THE BABY??

HOW MUCH MORE TIME DO I HAVE TO WAIT??

hmm not real sure on that one.. I would think that you might be okay now, as long as she isn't the one smoking, she has to carry the baby and anything she consumes her baby does also. good luck

i think your ok..more important that the wife doesn't..good luck!

Excessive use will lower your sprem count and make it harder for her to fall pregnant.  Also ... don't smoke around her when she is pregnant. Good luck

there have been studies that show males who smoke marijuana on a regular basis produce deformed sperm, poor swimmers and sperm that strong. if you were smoking still and she got pregnant there are a few risks to the baby, but since you've stopped and i assume are not going to start again, after a month the system clears residual marijuana chemicals. you should both be fine.

good job on stopping the use. :)

if you need more info go into the maternal and childhealth forum and search marijuana use during pregnancy. there is a rather long topic with alot of information there.

best wishes in conceiving and having a healthy child !
