A member asked:
Will being a previous cigarette smoker about half a pack a day affect fertility in healthy 25 year old female?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: Congratulations on stopping smoking! smoking significantly impairs fertility and increases the chance of miscarriage but the ill effects of smoking are generally reversible and within a year of stopping the adverse effects on fertility should be reversed. Avoid second-hand smoke, as that also impairs fertility!
