First of all, 3 months of TTC is NOTHING! No need to worry at all about having any fertility problems. They say it takes the average couple 6-9 months to conceive. You might hear your friends saying it only took them a month or two to conceive, but trust me there are many more out there who take a LOT longer. I think worrying about your fertility is natural, though. I mean, you never know if it works right until you start trying! After going off the pill I rarely had a period. I sought help immediately and learned I have annovulation. So my OB tried to get me to ovulate on clomid with no success, and referred me to a specialist. I had to use injections to get pg (now 21 weeks). It took us a year but we were lucky to get med. help when we did. Still, a year seemed like a lifetime to us and does to anyone wanting a baby! My point is that while you may have problems, it is still too early to suspect them. Are your periods regular? If so, that's a good sign. As for yours and DH's "habits", smoking is not good while trying to get pg. It greatly reduces the quality of your eggs. If your DH smokes it adversely affects his sperm, too. I'd cut back on the caffiene too. I did this while TTC b/c I would try anything to help get pg! Plus I knew once I did get pg I'd have to cut back so why not get used to such now? I'm so glad I didn't have to fight caffiene w/d after learning I was pg. I am not sure the affects weed has on conception. Without judging your lifestyle (b/c mine used to be a little wild way back in the day!), I'd just like to say I hope your DH will forego the pot when your baby gets here, for various reasons that I'm sure are known to you. Best of luck to you! I'd just cut out some of the "fluff" and not yet worry about being infertile!!

I smoked and drank daily (one or 2 drinks) and was told I would need fertility drugs to get pregnant because I had low progesterone. My bf also smoked weed weekly, if not daily. Long story short, I am 24 weeks pregnant right now. I of course have stopped smoing and drinking and my bf quit smoking pot too. Getting pregnant made all of us healtier. That said, I am sure smoking, drinking and pot all can contribute to fertilty problems. If you really want a baby, I'd quit it all. You'll have to quit once you get pregnant anyway.

i was actually told i couldnt have kids due to past medical problems... i smoked a pack a day (so did he) we also drank alcohol (he drank sodas) and we both smoked weed... im now just past 12 weeks pregnant... we had unprotected sex for about 6months before i got pregnant... with my ex we slept together 2 1/2 years without protection and we didnt smoke weed drink or do anything bad other than my cigs and i never got pregnant...
