Don b surprise

When u read this...Yah..Know it's sudden but hey,I'm reaching 20 years old..Time to think of my future in marriage..

Many of the risk factors for both male and female infertility are the same. They include:

Tobacco smoking.
Men and women who smoke tobacco may reduce their chances of becoming pregnant and reduce the possible benefit of fertility treatment. Miscarriages are more frequent in women who smoke.

Alcohol use.
For women, there's no safe level of alcohol use during conception or pregnancy. Moderate alcohol use does not appear to decrease male fertility.

( For sure I won be doing these two acts..And I hope my boy too -.- )

Being overweight.
Among American women, infertility often is due to a sedentary lifestyle and being overweight.

Being underweight.
Women at risk include those with eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa or bulimia, and women following a very low-calorie or restrictive diet. Strict vegetarians also may experience infertility problems due to a lack of important nutrients such as vitamin B-12, zinc, iron and folic acid.

Too much exercise.
In some studies, exercising more than seven hours a week has been associated with ovulation problems. Strenuous exercise may also affect success of in vitro fertilization. On the other hand, not enough exercise can contribute to obesity, which also increases infertility.

Caffeine intake.
Studies are mixed on whether drinking too much caffeine may be associated with decreased fertility. Some studies have shown a decrease in fertility with increased caffeine use while others have not shown adverse effects. If there are effects, it's likely that caffeine has a greater impact on a woman's fertility than on a man's. High caffeine intake does appear to increase the risk of miscarriage.

( I didn't know the last two have risks of causing infertility.. >.> )

OK..Better take note of these now..I mean even if I don like kids much,I still wan atleast 2 children..One son and one daughter... LOL...

OK..Back to spazzing mode over 23 males until I found my only one.. XD
