Trying To Conceive &The Effects of Marijuana

Is it a big deal if your male partner smokes marijuana? A recent study published in The American Journal of Epidemiology may have him reconsider using it. According to Medical Daily's article, "Effects Of Marijuana: Smoking Pot Burns Out Sperm Count For Men By A Third, Harming Fertility", the study is called "Association Between Use of Marijuana and Male Reproductive Hormones and Semen Quality: A Study Among 1,215 Healthy Young Men". It can be found here.

Having a male partner who smokes Marijuana can be counterproductive for couples hoping to conceive. If he smokes it more than once a week, it can lower sperm by a third. If you partner is smoking it with other recreational drugs, it can lower his sperm count by more than half. This article also cautions that men who are borderline infertile may risk becoming infertile by smoking Marijuana (Borreli).

Frida Mom for Post Laparoscopy Care

My Frida Mom Basket for Post-Laparoscopy Care. Why I Love the Frida Mom Line (Even Beyond Motherhood) One of the things I’ve really come to appreciate is how versatile the Frida Mom line is—not just for new moms, but for anyone recovering from abdominal surgeries, such as laparoscopies for endometriosis.
