How Many Days Does It Take A Sperm Cell To Reach Maturity?
My wife and I would like to have a baby. I quit smoking 60 days ago and have not had a drink in 60 days either. I have read it takes 74 days for sperm to mature. Should we wait to try to conceive until the 74 days are up or can we try to conceive after 60 days?

Hello,
Smoking and alcohol won't have a direct effect on sperm. If you are worried about the morphology of the sperm. the probability Is considerably small. You can start trying sex from today itself.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
