Smoking and TTC

Ashley

I don't know about most of y'all, but I've been a smoker for 18 years. I'm 28 years old and if smoked at least a pack a day since I was 16.. I need my mom smoked when she got pregnant with all three of us. I watched my best friend smoke with all three of her children. I know another friend smoke with her too and is now smoking with her third. But for some of us it doesn't quite work out like that. I had unprotected sex with an ex from the end of 2014 till mid 2016.. The only pregnancy was after breaking up and sleeping with my current boyfriend ( not actually together at the time.. We dated for 7yr before all this but that's another story).. I misscarried right after finding out.. Fastforward to April 2018.. Josh and I start activly start trying for a baby.. We chart, use EOK, take vitamins, and eat better.. I misscarried on July 4.. Although devastated, we push forward..now on December josh buys me a vape to help me quit smoking... on the first day I cut down from 22 cigarettes to just 4.. A month goes by with my cigarette intake cute to what it was 17years ago.. After being handed this vape on Dec 13. We find out on February 14 we are pregnant.. This is the longest we've known about a pregnancy before something bad happened so i feel like this is the one that's here to stay.. I know this is a long story to get to this but SMOKING WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE
