Summarize the following:
. For both men and women, smoking tobacco products can affect fertility. If a woman smokes during pregnancy, or is around secondhand smoke, the baby's health could be affected. If a man smokes, he can damage his sperm. If you smoke, you should both quit as you try to conceive.  Talk to your doctor about quitting. Tobacco is highly addictive and trying to quit without medical help can be difficult. Your doctor can help you form a plan to taper off tobacco. They may also recommend products, like nicotine gum, that can help you quit. Seek support when quitting smoking. Quitting smoking is incredibly difficult and you'll need lots of support. Ask friends and family members to support your decision. You can also see if there are any support groups at your local hospital. If you can't find a support group in your area, you can look online. Drinking alcohol can decrease your fertility. If you conceive, drinking alcohol can hurt the developing fetus. When trying to get pregnant, it's best to refrain from alcohol consumption completely.  If you're a regular drinker, quitting may be challenging. You may be accustomed to having a glass of wine with dinner, for example, or having drinks with friends on Fridays after work. Consider giving yourself a month to cut back on alcohol before trying to conceive. Many social events revolve around drinking. These events can be awkward if you're not partaking, and you may not feel ready to tell others why you're cutting back on alcohol. You could drink something that appears like an alcohol beverage, like seltzer water in a clear glass, to avoid questions. Vaginal lubricants can help sex be less painful if you're prone to vaginal dryness; however, many over-the-counter lubricants can decrease fertility. Try to minimize or eliminate your use of lubricants when trying to get pregnant.  You can use canola oil or mineral oil instead of an over-the-counter lubricant. You can also ask your doctor to recommend a lubricant that does not decrease fertility.  Foreplay before sex may help your vagina lubricate more naturally. You can try increasing the amount of foreplay prior to sex. You can engage in behaviors like mutual masturbation before sex as well, or watch pornography together. While exercise in moderation can increase fertility, strenuous daily workouts may affect your hormones. This can decrease your overall fertility. Try not to engage in more than five hours of vigorous aerobic exercise each week.
Quit smoking Avoid alcohol. Be careful with vaginal lubricants. Be careful with exercise.
