I’ve been trying to conceive a baby with my significant other for a couple months now and have had no luck. We’ve done everything we possibly can and nothing is working. Is it possible that if I smoke nicotine that could be the cause? Would it make my sperm infertil? If not could there be any other causes of not being able to conceive, and if it is because of the nicotine what do you suggest I do?

Question
Answer
Usually you would wait 1 full year before diagnosing infertility. If not pregnant by then, you would need an infertility work-up with your local doctor or call my assistant, Patti Converse (702-533-2691) and set up a consultation with me online.
I don’t think the use of nicotine is at fault here.
