You might be ready to have a baby and start a family, but your body doesn\u2019t just follow your command. You will have to practice things which are known to boost fertility, and you will have to be persistent in your efforts. There are many dos and don\u2019ts for when you\u2019re trying to become pregnant. And out of all things that are bad for your fertility, smoking is the worst.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Infertility<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Several studies over the years have proved that smoking lowers your chance of conceiving. Nicotine is known to lower the rate of maturation of a woman\u2019s eggs, thereby lowering the ovulation rates\u2014a fact backed by scientific research. The Advanced Fertility Center of Chicago once conducted a research which showed abnormalities in the eggs of women who smoke. Research also proves that women who smoke take at least an extra two months to get pregnant than non-smokers. But delayed pregnancy is not the only problem. Smoking also increases the risk of ectopic pregnancy. In fact, the longer you smoke, the risk of fertility problems get higher.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In another study, the British Medical Association concluded that smokers have a whopping 40% lower chance of conceiving than women who do not smoke. But it\u2019s not just about active smoking, because passive smoking can be just as harmful. It has been seen that women who smoke actively or passively suffer nearly 5000 miscarriages a year. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alldaychemist.com\/infertility-therapy.html\" target=\"_blank\">Smoking also causes impotency<\/a><\/span> in nearly 120,000 men aged between 30 and 50.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-weight: bold;\">Nicotine and Infertility Treatment<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you want to opt for In-Vitro Fertilization or IVF, you will still need to watch your smoking habits to become pregnant. Non smokers have more egg retrieval with IVF than smokers. Another downside for those who smoke is that they have lower fertilization rates. Miscarriages with IVF pregnancies are also more common in women who smoke. According to a study, women who never smoked have a 2.7 times more chance of getting pregnant with\u00a0In-Vitro Fertilization than those who smoke or used to smoke. Now aren&#8217;t these statistics scary? What\u2019s more is that those who have been smoking for over 5 years have an even higher risk of failed pregnancies. IVF doesn&#8217;t just cost a lot of money and time, but is also very stressful for any woman. If you are resorting to IVF, it is best that you prepare your body and maintain it in healthy state before trying this treatment. If you want IVF to work for you, you need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alldaychemist.com\/quit-smoking.html\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">get nicotine out of your system<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-weight: bold;\">Nicotine and Men<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Your IVF process may give you negative results if your partner smokes. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alldaychemist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Nicotine-and-Men.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-3483 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alldaychemist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Nicotine-and-Men.jpg\" alt=\"Nicotine and Men\" width=\"300\" height=\"207\" \/><\/a>While studies have proved this fact, the reason behind this is not yet clear. It might be the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alldaychemist.com\/men-s-health.html\" target=\"_blank\">negative influence of nicotine<\/a><\/span> on a man\u2019s sperm, or something else\u2014researchers aren\u2019t certain. However, one thing\u2019s for sure, if your partner smokes, the IVF is less likely to be successful.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-weight: bold;\">Quit Smoking Today<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You will be amazed to know how much a small change can do to your child-bearing ability. You will do yourself a huge favor if you decide to quit smoking. Here\u2019s a fact that is sure to motivate you: one year from when you completely quit smoking, you will have equal chances of getting pregnant as a woman who never smoked in her life! So if you are smoking now, it isn\u2019t too late. All you need to do is quit and increase your chances of conceiving in the long-term.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So boost your fertility and aim for a healthy pregnancy today. One lifestyle change will go a long way. Don\u2019t let nicotine get in your way, quit smoking. Enroll for some form of nicotine therapy to combat withdrawal symptoms, gradually reduce the number of cigarettes you smoke until you completely quit and avoid situations that could cause a relapse. So say goodbye to smoking to prepare your body for a healthy pregnancy and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alldaychemist.com\/womens-health.html\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">protect your fertility naturally<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pregnancy is one of the best phases of any woman\u2019s life, but if you have been trying to conceive for some time and haven\u2019t been successful, it can be very stressful.
