Solutions to infertility: giving up alcohol and drugs


        SOLUTIONS TO INFERTILITY: GIVING UP ALCOHOL AND DRUGS

Alcohol
Alcohol is a mutagen, which means it is a substance that can cause mutations.
Studies have shown that giving male mice alcohol damaged their sperm and increased the number of still-born or miscarried offspring by three times. And female rats given alcohol before ovulation had lower fertility and an increased number of dead and deformed offspring. The most extreme effect of alcohol is demonstrated by the fact that 80 per cent of chronic alcoholic men are sterile and alcohol is a common cause of impotence.
Your partner should wait at least four months to clear his reproductive system from the effects of alcohol before you try to conceive. This is because sperm take about that long to mature. Sperm that mature while alcohol is still in the system may be less healthy and effective.
The other reason to give up drinking well in advance of conception is that when you get pregnant it will be at least two weeks before you know it. Toxins from drinking and smoking alcohol are at their most dangerous during the first few weeks of pregnancy because embryo cell division is at its highest then.

Eliminating Drugs
If you or your partner is addicted to any drugs, it is important that you seek professional help by talking to your doctor. He or she can then refer you to a specialist to help overcome the addiction and to allow time for the drugs to be cleared out of your bodies before conception.
If your doctor has prescribed medication for either you or your partner then ask him or her to check whether the drug has any side-effects which could affect fertility. If the drug is essential then ask if there is another type which does not have those side-effects. Also ask if the medication is absolutely essential and if it is not, you may be able to stop taking it.
