Duh?!: You would consider smoking while trying to conceive? Are you daft? Do you want an abnormal child? Smoking tobacco causes chromosomal damage. It causes cancer. It causes low birthweight babies. It results in as much as 40% decrease in conception compared to female non-smokers, and it increases miscarriage rates. Also pcos increases all cardiac risk factors, so why would you add another risk factor?
