I just came across an article that says smoking marijuana decreases the chance of fertility. I frequently and legally smoke marijuana but don’t plan to start a family anytime soon. I know that when I do, I would definitely stop beforehand. But for those who were frequent marijuana smokers, was it easy for you to get pregnant? I’m kind of scared now because I really do want kids, and my fear would be not being able to.

I was 16, on birth control pills, and smoked daily, ended up pregnant (didn’t find out till I was 3.5 months along that I was pregnant due to the birth control pills kept taking them daily, had no signs) I still smoked daily when I got pregnant with my 2nd years later.
I’ve known multiple people before who have smoked it before they got pregnant and ended up having a healthy pregnancy. 
I doubt it causes women to not get pregnant.
Hahaha smoke daily. I have five babies and two Angel’s. I’d say not in this case.
I smoked marijuana daily at least 4 or 5 times a day and ended up getting pregnant in between switching birth controls 
lol. But i quit smoking once i found out and im currently 36 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby boy

It decreases fertility in men, lowers the sperm count. You’ll be fine

I just asked my obgyn about this yesterday. I have my medical card for ulcerative colitis (an IBD like Crohns). My morning sickness has been CRAZY so I was curious.
Theres not enough data one way or the other for science to give a 
or:-1: The biggest risk is that smoking anything makes your blood vessels smaller. You want them bigger, especially during the first trimester so more blood flow and nutrition gets to the baby. I was advised that if I want to consume any form of THC while pregnant, edibles are the preferred method.
That being said, I’ve had my card for a while and got pregnant the first try. Keep your body overall healthy and you should be fine.

This completely depends on YOUR body! Talk to your doctor about your risks. Just like anything else every body has a personal reaction to any chemical, herb, medicine that goes into their body.

Not at all. What can affect your chances are your overall health, diet, and medical history. Marijuana has no impact on pregnancies.
mmm I’d have to say no to that as a woman. if I was a smoker or a nonsmoker i got pregnant just the same.
It doesn’t effect itnso long as you’re normally healthy otherwise
I never had issues conceiving, nor did anyone I know. I always thought that was a myth. Tracking your cycle and taking ovulation tests may rest your worries.

We had fertility issues and had tests. Gave up and lost 10kg n our results improved dramatically and also we were able to get pregnant. It made a huge difference for us. N we weren’t huge smokers

I haven’t seen any concrete evidence anywhere that supports marijuana decreases fertility. Personal experience, no issues. I guess it just depends on your body.
Daily user never had an issue with fertility. Even continued smoking while pregnant. Not on the daily but I did talk to my doctor about it and he said it was fine as long as it wasn’t mixed with tobacco and it wasn’t consistent. It helped with my morning sickness and to eat because I couldn’t hold anything down. My son was born full term just a few days early. He was healthy and he’s very smart he’s in the 4th grade and in the top of his class.

The guys sperm is not as active if they smoke literally every minute they’re awake and for quite a few years like that. Otherwise don’t worry but I do recommend being sober for the future anyway because the longer you smoke the harder to quit and it’s not a nice idea having that influence/lifestyle around kids…

Daily for 25 yrs besides during pregnancy. I had 3 children so unless there is proof of fertility issues I believe your just fine. Get the facts before ppl start putting things in your head.
Got pregnant twice and was a every day, multiple times a day smoker. Took me like 3 months of trying for both kids.
Nope was smoking when i got pregnant (bc failed) quit when i found out just in case but nothing bad happened
Cigarettes would have more affect on fertility than marijuana would…

No it does not effect you. I’m a regular smoker and it was very easy for me to get pregnant with my daughter.
As of 2019, apparently there aren’t enough studies to actually come to a conclusion of whether it decreases or increases your chance of getting pregnant according to obstetricians and gynecologists. Apparently they’re begging for more researchers to do large scale studies on it. So in my opinion, maybe stop using it incase it will end up being the reason of infertility issues in the future. Some women get pregnant using it, and some have to stop. Since none of us commenting are fortune tellers, they really cant say that just because they got pregnant while smoking weed, doesnt mean others will have no problem. Truth be told, none of us has any idea whether we can conceive or not when it’s time to, even without smoking weed.
my younger sister is a major stoner. Has 4 kids (twins and her current youngest was born when she 26) whereas I dont smoke and I have 1 child which was born when I was 28. I think its more genetics. We are half sisters. I tried for many years with no luck and my sister hooks up with someone once and bam baby or babies.
No. Daily smoker. Never had any issues of any kind and in fact I get pregnant quite quick.
I’m pretty sure I was conceived when my parents were high. 
Smoking doesnt decrease it. I got pregnant easily shoot i got pregnant 2 months after just giving birth.

No definitely not true I smoke everyday only quit when I’m pregnant and my ass is on my third pregnancy lol might be different for others tho🤷
I haven’t read anything about it and fertility but I have read studies that it is linked to Autism after birth.
My husband smoked every day i didnt i have 5 beautiful children depends i guess
Both me & my partner are regular smokers and we are expecting our second in a week!
I’ve read that it does slow sperm down. My boyfriend smoked every day and it did take us a long time to get pregnant with our first. And he quit smoking and we got pregnant much quicker with our second. It could totally be a coincidence though 
I know a lot of avid pot smokers who have had no issue getting pregnant.

It can decrease sperm count in daily users
This is from Boston University
I never had an issue. But then again there are women doing everything right and still can’t get pregnant. I think it’s based on your body. Some women get pregnant easily, others struggle.

Um no. I smoked literally all day every day when I was younger and fit pregnant 3 times. I was also on depo for two of them and the pill, properly taken with the other. It definitely doesn’t effect your reproductive system.
Don’t you know marijuana makes everything worse… Its the devil. Its completely terrible…
Don’t listen to the bs. Your good. Keep doing what you do. I bet my kids just wished I smoked pot so I’d chill the fu** out unfortunately for me I can’t smoke it cos I just get too paranoid evertime…doesnt really suit me. But I do believe the natural leaf is very beneficial

Well if u look at the rates of teen pregnancy and what their using, its safe to say, no i dont think its true! Also, docs in us actually agree that its helpful so if it did anything like that, theyd be more available on the subject.

Junk science. My sister in law smokes weed and has 7 kids.
No it does not and all the women that smoke weed with over 3 kids proves that
I’m also a smoker and I had no issues getting pregnant. With my 2nd, I had the mirena. I had it taken out, within that month. I had only had sex 2 times and I was pregnant the next month…I had my tubes tied after my 2nd child. 5 years later, I was pregnant!
From what I’ve been told as far as medical advice, yes. But From what I’ve seen happen with those who use it and having babies, no.

It probably has no effect on you, but may decrease sperm count in men.
I smoked pot regularly and was on birth control when I got pregnant with my oldest.

Have 3 kids despite my marijuana usage lmao
In my younger years I smoked a lot of weed. I have 4 kids, one do them was triplets naturally…so I would say my fertility was not affected in a negative way. If you are concerned I would see an ob or maybe a naturopath dr and talk to them.
