My husband and I aren't exactly trying to get pregnant but we have been having unprotected sex the last 3 months and haven't gotten pregnant. I know we aren't trying or anything but it's kind of scaring me that I might not be able to have children. There might be a few things making it a little more difficult, like I smoke, and drink alot of pop and he smokes weed. Now I don't want any lectures on our lifestyle, I'd just like to hear how these things are seriously affecting our bodies regarding fertility ↓

Okay!! No lectures, right? Well, here's a few links that will help you understand the damage of smoking, caffene and weed. Just know that the smoking part is SERIOUSLY damaging your chances. Also, just think about stopping and about whether or not you'd want your newborn baby (and even in utero) breathing in what you guys puff out. I'm not lecturing, believe me, but its a reality. Hope you get some great answers soon! Here are the links!! Remember to remove all dashes! http://www.ivillage.co.uk/health/whea-lth/repro/qas/0,,180663_183674,00.htm-l- Another one is: http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art11646.asp Here's another. This one is about caffeine (in pop too): http://www.babycenter.com/refcap/4489.html and here's another: http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/-gettingpregnant/a/aa122997.htm- Hope this all helps!! I also recommend doing some intensive research about fertility and what we need to do to help the chances. 3 months isn't a long time, believe me, compared to a LOT of the women here (including myself), but you may want to give your Gyn a call and get a check -up. Let him or her know that you're trying to concieve and ask them what to do. Good luck! ↑

I also wanted to say, this isn't the best board to post on if you really want answers. Try signs of pregnancy or Problems getting pregnant. More people frequent those! ↑

uh, well cutting all the bad shit you're doing out of your lifestyle might help a lot. and if you're not charting, you have no idea when you're ovulating and you'll have a really hard time catching yourself at the fertile days. ↑
