There’s good news if you use pot and are trying to get pregnant
Johnny Singh* had heard that smoking pot could affect his fertility, but he never considered quitting. He had been a daily user of medical and recreational marijuana for years before he and his wife conceived their first child when they weren?t even planning to start a family. ?I heard pot brings your sperm count down, but that obviously wasn?t a problem for me,? he says between puffs of a joint. The couple had two more children?also surprise pregnancies?and they?re not alone in discovering that their fertility is seemingly unhindered by getting high.
Indeed, a new study has found that marijuana use by men or women does not, in fact, lower a couple?s chances of getting pregnant. While previous research has suggested that toking negatively affects how sperm behave, the Boston University study is the first to look specifically at the link between pot use and the likelihood of conceiving?Âand it found there isn?t one.
