How can smoking impact my ability to conceive?
Women who smoke do not conceive as efficiently as nonsmokers. Infertility rates in male and female smokers are about twice the rate of infertility in nonsmokers. The risk for fertility problems increases with the number of cigarettes smoked daily.
Even fertility treatments such as IVF may not fully overcome smoking’s effects on fertility. Female smokers need more ovary-stimulating medications during IVF, still have fewer eggs at retrieval time, and have 30% lower pregnancy rates than IVF patients who do not smoke.
Because smoking damages the genetic material in eggs and sperm, miscarriage and offspring birth-defect rates are higher among smoking patients. Smokeless tobacco also leads to increased miscarriage rates. Women who smoke are more likely to conceive a chromosomally unhealthy pregnancy (such as a pregnancy affected by Down syndrome) than nonsmoking mothers. Ectopic pregnancies and preterm labor also occur more often among female smokers.
