I know that you are not appreciating my prior advice. I'll just leave it there.

How long have you been trying to conceive? Was she on the pill before this? How old are you? My wife and I tried for 18 months before it happened. We asked our doctors and they said "relax - just relax". She told my wife about a couple of her friends that tried for years - even with a fertility specialist - and finally gave up. Not long after, they went on vacation... Smoked some weed... 40 weeks later, a baby.

I'm just saying that your wife seems pretty far from chilled out. The whole gluten
thing should give you a clue on what you are in for. Yes, if you agree to give up weed, it will be a forever thing in my opinion. But something tells me that she is not going to stop there. Soon it will be something else that needs fixing. If I were you, I would smoke plenty of weed. You are going to need it - baby or no baby.

I'm not trying to be rude, just honest. The patterns of her behavior that you have written about do not bode well for you in future. Good luck. It would get a million times worse if you do have one. And it will never end. There will always be something wrong that she needs to fix or some sudden truth just revealed to her that she will need to change your life for. You will be zigging and zagging for the rest of your life until she finds a bible and you, a girlfriend or an all consuming hobby.

Have you tried taking a stand with her? As in "fuck no, I am not quitting weed" ? What would happen? Might pay dividends ithe future.

This is sound advice...

Some people, want to change other people. I am not un-guilty of this.

BUT - I have never in my life told someone to smoke less weed if they want to "be with me". One guy tried to do that to me - once. I ended up gloving-up and demoing his anoose...

I tell that story when I start dating someone new...no one has asked me to stop since then....

Good advice.
I would be fearful of a person blaming me for things that are 50/50 to begin with much less as time goes on.

Been around the block a few times myself and I don't care for 'big government' in my life.

It's been about a year. She was on the patch for like 8 years before that.

She is not crazy or anything, but tends not to think too critically on some things until it's called to her attention. Which is very bad when it comes to marijuana because there is so much misinformation out there.

We broke up like 5 years ago because she didn't like the weed and gave me an ultimatum and I ditched her. I don't think she was expecting it. She didn't wantto break up, she just wanted me to stop smoking but I won't (unbeknownst to her I was in the midst of setting up a grow in my basement at that time). So she conceded, and well, we are married and trying for a baby now. And I smoke weed everyday because no one tells guy incognito what to do.

I think she is freaking out a little bit. I've told her to relax, and that it might take awhile. It's been a year though, so I don't see why we can't go to the dr just to see whats up and see what they have to say. Maybe I can just pay the $120 or whatever to get my sperm checked out and know for sure. Then we can focus on the real issue.

The wife and I are trying to conceive and she is flipping out about me smoking, even though it's been part of the deal since the day we met. Now she is getting all upset because she hasn't conceived yet and is attempting to control me and my behavior. I am on board with increasing my overall health to improve our chances, but I dislike being controlled. I have a feeling that if I give in even slightly it will be a slippery slope and she will try to push marijuana out of my life completely. It starts with just a temporary ban, but it will get longer and longer until she is no longer cool with it at all.

What's the deal with marijuana and conception? I know a lot of people that smoke that seemed able to conceive. A quick search of the internet yields plenty of articles condemning it and quoting studies that it decreases sperm count etc, but none of them link to the actual studies. Anyone have any input?

Go to your doctor and get a referral to get your semen tested, then you can hand the results to your wife. Then it's on her. She may have a problem...

I am glad you are talking to me @guy incognito. I wasn't hating on you though I may have said some things without diplomatic filters.

Dude. At twelve months, neither of you have a problem. Just chill. And fuck. And chill. Would she smoke some weed? I dunno. Wife and i had the same concerns - but our Dr. Gave us some good advice ("go out of town and smoke some weed"). Just chill. And fuck.

Sorry if I sounded harsh on her. But after 8 years on birth control, she may require some time. You quitting weed isn't going to necessarily help.

If going to the doctor will bring either of you peace of mind, then go for it - but it is
premature.

Part of me strongly suspects that she's not going to be able to chill though. If that is the case, you might want to start putting estrogen in her coffee for now. Erf.

Good luck GI. I am rooting for you.

I like Baldrick's advice... Relax and enjoy the time and additional sex you have until it does work. Because once you have the kid there won't be much of either... o_o

Marijuana during pregnancy
Update ~ Dreher’s research has hit mainstream media. . An excerpt 3.20.2012:

Melanie Dreher, who is the dean of nursing at Rush Medical Center in Chicago, did a study in Jamaica. It was actually published in the American Journal of Pediatricsin 1994, but now it’s re-circulating because of all the interest in the neuroprotective properties.

Basically, she studied women during their entire pregnancy, and then studied the babies about a year after birth. And what she studied was a group of women who did smoke cannabis during pregnancy and those who didn’t. She expected to see a difference in the babies as far as birth weight and neuro tests, but there was no difference whatsoever. The differences that the researchers did notice, that are unexplained and kind of curious are that the babies of the women who had smoked cannabis — and we’re talking about daily use during their pregnancy — socialized more quickly, made eye contact more quickly and were easier to engage.

We don’t know why this is so, but all the old saws of smoking during pregnancy will result in low birth weight did not show up — at least in the Jamaican study. In U.S. studies where we’ve seen a similar investigation, women have concurrently been abusing alcohol and other drugs as well.
No signs of birth defects
A landmark study conducted in the 1990s by medical anthropologist Dr. Dreher, (co-author of the book Women and Cannabis: Medicine, Science, and Sociology), gave the medical world a different insight into the use of marijuana by pregnant women in Jamaica. Dreher found that marijuana was being used in a cultural and medical context, as a way to relieve morning sickness or nausea, prevent depression and fatigue, and improve appetites. Her team observed both the mothers who used marijuana and their infants; they reported that there were no signs of birth defects or of behavioral problems in the marijuana-exposed children either during the month after birth or even several years after.

Being overweight will affect pregnancy. I hear smoking pot messes up sperm but I know a lot of stoners that have kids so I don't really see the evidence to support that claim

Government experts also concede that pot has no permanent effect on the male or female reproductive systems[36] A few studies have suggested that heavy marijuana use may have a reversible, suppressive effect on male testicular function[37]A recent study by Dr. Robert Block has refuted earlier research suggesting that pot lowers testosterone or other sex hormones in men or women[38] In contrast, heavy alcohol drinking is known to lower testosterone levels and cause impotence. A couple of lab studies indicated that very heavy marijuana smoking might lower sperm counts. However, surveys of chronic smokers have turned up no indication of infertility or other abnormalities.

Less is known about the effects of cannabis on human females. Some animal studies suggest that pot might temporarily lower fertility or increase the risk of fetal loss, but this evidence is of dubious relevance to humans[39] One human study suggested that pot may mildly disrupt ovulation. It is possible that adolescents are peculiarly vulnerable to hormonal disruptions from pot. However, not a single case of impaired fertility has ever been observed in humans of either sex.http://www.canorml.org/healthfacts/healthmyths.html
