I started again, then quit when I got pg but had a mc. Quit for like 2 weeks after the mc and started again! Quit the second I got my BFP now and hopefully won't start again..DH is a smoker so it's so hard, but he's trying to quit now too!!!

Re: Just quit smoking for TTC

I have been smoke free for over a year. Chat Icon Chat Icon I quit last July because I knew we were going to be TTC and I didn't want that to be added stress. I know some people who tried quitting when they first found it and it was so hard.

I will say that it is a lot harder to quit than people who never smoked think. I honestly do not know how I did it. I had tried so many times and it never worked. I pretty much just got it in my head one day and then I did it Chat Icon . The first couple of weeks are the hardest, but think of it this way - every day that you don't smoke, you are accomplishing a huge goal. Anytime I thought to myself - "Oh I will just have one with my glass of wine", I realized I wouldn't be able to say I hadn't smoked in yadda yadda weeks. KWIM??

Good Luck Chat Icon

I stopped about 2 years ago but DH still smokes....he tried to go cold turkey and was good for a few months but started again. It will be hard but try to stay focused on the reason why you're quitting and you'll get thru it!

Good luck!

Re: Just quit smoking for TTC

I only smoked a little bit for a few years, and even that was hard to stop...so I congratulate you.

Not only are you doing this for your future LO, but you are doing this for your health and your wallet.

I'm so proud to hear when someone quits smoking. You can do it!!

Re: Just quit smoking for TTC

I quit back in 2000. I had smoked for well over 10 years and honestly I think you need to quit cold turkey and cant say oh well i will have one a day......its all or nothing or you will always go back. I tried that way for years and it wasnt until I just totally quit that it really worked.

I won't lie, I still have craving to this day and my mom quit back in the late 60s and she said that every now and then she will still get a craving.....so I don't think it ever goes away.
