Hi I was a smoker for about 6 months before I decided to stop and go for ivf. Have been preparing myself with all the supplements for the last 2 months since April. I did smoke a few sticks (less than 10) during these 2 months due to very stress. I'm due for retrieval in Aug.
Wanted to ask if anyone similar situation as me. Did ur past smoking affect ur egg quality?
I am not a smoker but i wouldn't imagine a few puffs would have a impact. However if your NHS they test you for carbon monixide a couple of times to verify that you aren't smoking so bare that in mind as it is a criteria to qualify for NHS.
I used to be a smoker and gave up over 3 years ago for IVF treatment. I spoke to my clinic after a failed cycle and was told it would only have an impact on egg quality if it was within the 3 months prior to the egg retrieval. I also know someone who has went through IVF and smoked in between trying for her 2 healthy children. Hope that helps
Thank you. Feel so much better after hearing that. I have completely stopped. So hope that helps.
Awe your welcome, glad I could help. This process is brutal enough without us giving ourselves something else to bet ourselves up about
Never smoked and my egg quality is crap. Countless of women around the world smoke and have healthy babies. I have also seen women smoking during pregnancy 😳 and babies turned out fine. There is some impact there, studies don't lie, but there's so much that studies don't know yet.
As others said I can't imagine the few puffs you had recently making a huge difference at this point.
