Stop Smoking
If you are not a smoker, then do not start at all. For smokers, stop smoking immediately. Tobacco products are associated with reduced fertility in both women and men. Studies have shown that females who smoke may experience a premature depletion of eggs and aging of ovaries. In males, smoking may increase the risk of misshapen sperm, lowered sperm count, and reduced sperm mobility. These negative effects may also be found in secondhand smokers. Therefore, both you and your partner should stop smoking to increase the chance of getting pregnant. In addition to better fertility, staying away from tobacco products can also bring many other health benefits. [7]
