Weed vs fertility

As someone who smoked weed a fair bit as a teen (not within the last year-2yrs), is this going to really destroy my chances of getting pregnant?
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

    I cant see why. Is there speculations this may happen?

    It affects men much more than women in terms of fertility. Some evidence to suggest it affects woman's menstraul cycle but it's inconclusive. Especially as you haven't smoked it in a while, truth is, some women find it hard to get pregnant and you might be one of those types.

    Taking any drugs during pregnancy is stupid and obviously there's going to be lots on the net. Anything before it is pure speculation tbh.

    it does reduce fertility if youre an active smoker.
    smoking it in the past wont have any effect now.

    my mum has smoked weed constantly since she was 15, and has 3 kids which were all accidents, so it cant affect it that much. Like has been said its more harmful during pregnancy, she didnt stop on any og us!!

    I think tobacco is more damaging to a woman's fertility IIRC, messes with your ovaries or something? But considering the amount of people that do smoke but still conceive, it doesn't seem to have a major impact.

    Smoking is likely to make men impotent as well, so I guess that will affect your chances of getting pregnant.
