Hey girl... have you quit smokin yet? :) I promise that will help in the fertility. :) If Josh smokes, it will help if he quit to. Easier said than done. I know. The craving only last for a few days, keep busy with lots of gum, like sour or cinnamon gum, and it will help!

No... we haven't :sigh
I am better than him. I have cut back that's for sure. Baby steps.
I quit on my own 3 mths before I got preggo with Jerron so it was easy then. But I have been smoking nonstop alot heavier since Paul and I seperated... so almot 3 yrs now. :kickcan
DAMN NASTY HABITS! :tears

Girl I totally feel ya. When David and I were gonna divorce this past summer, I was smoking like I was trying to kill myself. Even on the drive across country, I was smoking like crazy. And then we got pregs, and I was like oh man... I have to quit. It was hard. But I had everyone in my face :teehee so that helped.
I know its so hard when you dont have the pressure of being pregnant yet. But all the research I have done shows that if you quit, both of you, you have a higher chance in the concieving department. I think that is a major thing that held David and I from getting pregnant... we both smoked heavy. We had the hand of God touch us for this child, that is for sure. But I have a feeling it would have happened sooner, had we got healthier.

I know... it doesnt help to have people give you unwanted advice, but I would love to see ya'll have a little one!! :cloud9

It's not unwanted advice Kat!
You know I LOVE YOU!!! :hugs
And I have been telling myself and Josh the same thing for a bit now... Because I had trouble having Jer and then after I quit I was preggo within 3 mths... so I wondered if that had something to do with it.
Thank You Kat! If you can do it I can do it too! :)

Just remember you might not be able to get your man to quit. But it still can be done... Mine still smokes and the smell actually makes me sick. I can smell it a mile away. This coming from someone who smoked since 10 and only quit for pregnancy and breastfeeding. I hope this time I STAY quit

Good luck

i've also read somewhere that smoking can lower sperm count... just a thought :D

Yea I have heard that too...
Too bad he isn't quitting any day soon. He says he will quit with me when I get preggo :mumble If he's gonna smoke... smoke just don't lie or hide it. Which Im not saying he will... just seen that alot with my ex inlaws and friends.

You can do it girl! Its gonna be tough, I still dream about smoking :lmao But you can do it. Especially when you see how everything starts smelling better! You hair, your clothes, everything! Wait till you smell someone who smokes walk by you :pukey :sick You probably smell your dh do that, but when your shopping or something, wait till someone walks by you.

Went all day today and NO smokes!
I even have been giving DH a hard time about quitting too... he's trying and doesn't like to smoke around me now! I told him its his choice and it didn't bother me. And I was good... it didn't get to me like I thought it did. Almost 4 days smoke free! :yahoo

Way to go Cori!

That is awesome Cori!!!!!!! Its should be out of your system now. Chemical wise. Now its just a matter of it being in your head!! The "habit" part. You can do it! And I know Josh can do it too! Just keep saying how it stinks, and makes you sick. And how you cant wait for your teeth to be super white etc. etc. :lol

:giggle
I definitly made the right choice at the right time! :yes

Whoo hoo Cori!!
