My and my fiance were every day smokers, cigs n weed, till we found out. It took us about 2 years to get pregnant. But before him and I got together he was heavy on other drugs. So not sure if it was him or me. But I never did anything but weed so. It doesn't make it impossible. But definitely effects it. I thought I would never get pregnant...

My boyfriend has been smoking  since we were 13, now down to a pack a day. The first time I got pregnant he was also a pot head(I don't remember a time when he wasn't high and he was also a drug abuser, unfortunately we did lose that baby at 6 Weeks. I'm now pregnant again (18+1 :-)  ) and he's now in recovery but still smokes cigarettes, and I think that's something he may never give up lol ”/

Either way, effecting sperm or not, quitting bad habits is what's best for you, and your family if you're TTC, that means, eating healthy, no smoking, cigarettes, or drugs, at all, exercising, being in the best health you can be in, and taking prenatal vitamins before you start. So if you're planning on starting, or expanding your family, it's best to make it a healthy family first!

They say it does reduce the sperm count but it wont make them infertile they can still get a women pregnant. If your trying to conceive it is best to stop.

Yeah my husband smokes a pack a day and used to smoke pot all the time like nearly everyday and we still got pregnant. It doesn't make it impossible just not as easy but it also depends on your body, the right day and what not. I'm a fertile mertile lol

My bf and I were everyday pot smokers before we found out I was pregnant at 4 weeks. I quit, he didn't. Well anyway we had unprotected sex for about a year only using the pullout method. One time he didn't pull out and I swear that's when I got pregnant. So in our case I really don't think that smoking pot affected our fertily.

It makes the sperm high as well therefore affecting their ability to make it where they needa go, so does being drunk and.smoking cigarettes (cigarettes deform the sperm and.obviously being drunk make them.drunk, the sperm.being deformed makes it where they can't penetrate the egg) NOW that's not to say your ability to get pregnant is 0 if they do these things its just lessened. SO if you're trying NOT to get Prego still use protection, if you're TRYING then discontinue use. Lol I sound like an infomercial.
