I gave up smoking and now im useing an electronic cig. Dont want to be useing this whilst having ivf treatment.. anybody else in same boat
Hey! Firstly very well done in giving up, I know all too well how hard it is, especially when you're facing treatment too. I gave up for ivf but I didn't use the electronic thingy. I literally stopped the day I started buserelin, I did only smoke about 2-3 a day before hand, so was never a really heavy smoker. The way I looked at it was to treat my body as if I were pregnant so I stopped caffeine, etc. The daily injections reminded me what I was doing and keep up my will to not smoke. All the best with the treatment and huge well done again for quitting 
Ahh thank you and well done to you aswell. I will take a leaf from your book and ill pack in the elec cig when treatment starts as i dont want to risk it. Like you i have also give up coffee but switched to green tea.. bad move i found theres also caffine in this.. so ive now opted for a caffine free green tea.. good luck to you as well
Hi sweeta, well done on giving up smoking-i've given up & like you i'm using the e-cig. I stay in Scotland though & we both have to be smoke free for 3 months before we can start treatment even though we are now at top of the list after waiting for 2 years. even though I've stopped my husband is still smoking & is finding it impossibe to give up cos of the stress of it all. These rules came in on 1st July this year but we only found out last month. So upset & angry. Makes me want to smoke if you know what I mean! Extra stress. Hope you're well & manage to give up ecig. When do you start treatment? xx
Hi weemon..well done to you aswell.. it is difficult and i can imagine its hard for you and your partner as this whole process is stressful. I wasnt aware there was a new rule out in july.. thats a ashame for you.. how would they monitor to c if your partner has given up or not??..
We have our group meeting on weds so were looking forward to that. Our consultant said we shud start treatment in a few months.. so hopefully it will give me time to kick the ecig.. im goin down in strength for now.. has your doctor given your partner any support and advice with giving up smoking? Hypnotheropy may work. Take care and good luck xx
