In brief:
Reduced
Like tobacco it depends on how much you use. Cigarettes reduce natural fertility by about 15% per-cycle . Marijuana has more combustion products than tobacco, so it's reasonable it's at least as harmful.
In brief:
Reduced

Decreased but still fertlie- many moms who smoke cigarettes and blunts in the US. For mother and baby health- the best thing is to stop smoking with support.
Several programs are geared especially for women who are childbearing age, planning pregnancy, already pregnant or already parenting. More information available via the American Cancer Soc, American Lung Assoc, County /State health departmen
