Will Smoking Cigarette Effect The Success Rate Of IVF?
My wife and I are going through with IVF retrieval for the first time next Tuesday. I smoked some cigarettes last night and I am worried that it will effect the success rate of IVF. I am not an everyday smoker---I smoke maybe once a month.
I am 30 years old, 6-2, 214.

Thanks for the query.
As smoking can affect your sperms count.
There are chances of azospermia (sperm count is below normal) in smokers.
But as far as ivf success is concerned there are no any direct correlations between smoking and ivf.
