Does smoking causes problems when trying to get pregnant?

Yes: Besides the many deleterious effects that smoking cigarettes can cause to your health, the nicotine in cigarettes can lead to decreased motility of the fimbria and cilia in the Fallopian tube that may decrease their capacity to transport the egg and sperm, jeopardizing conception altogether. Please stop smoking, it’s terrible for you. In addition, it’s also bad for a growing baby.

Of COURSE!: Think about it- you want to get pregnant; your body is looking for the healthiest conditions for growing a baby- excellent nutrition, adequate sleep, daily exercise, loss stress...Then you add good sex around the time of ovulation. If you're malnourished, underweight, putting toxins in your body, it will read the situation as "unhealthy" for baby! there are 4, 000 toxins in cigarette smoke! stop it.
