Smoking / Giving up

l_sparkle · Nov 12th, 2009, 03:52 AM

Any ladies on here that still smoke with the view 'I'll give up once I'm pregnant'?

That's been my way of thinking... but now I'm going to just give up! I'm doing everything else, eating very well, taking my vits, not drinking and generallly really looking after myself but my smoking is really letting me down!

I've got patches from my doc and I'll probably start wearing them on Monday - anyone wanna join me?

Hi Sparkle
Just wanted to wish you luck! I gave up when we started to TTC and it was easier than when I had stopped before, I kept on saying to myself I might be pregnant and it seemed to work. OK I was a grumpy witch at times and I have put on a few pounds but it's worth it. Giving up can also help you conceive, how's that for an incentive?
You can do it!
Good luck!

Thanks Fifi!

I'm not too fussed about the weight, I'm only a size 8 and I've lost about 5 pounds just being off the pill, so it will just counter that!

I'm also excited about starting my baby fund with the money I save too! xx

I've given up for 25 days today! Go for it - it's hard but definitely worth it.

I use an e-cig for now (with no nicotine cartridges in) and won't use it at all once a get a BFP.

Good luck!

smoking makes you put on weight becuz all the chemicals suppress your appetite and becuz most people grab a snack when they have a craving for a smoke. i know that's what happens every time i quit

I stopped smoking almost 3 years ago and it was a nightmare for the 1st 2 - 3 months or so but now I find it makes me sick to smell cigs!! Sometimes when I go out nad have had a drink I feel as though I want to have one but wouldn't, would be scared to get hooked again!!!

Good luck ladies x

I quit 2 months ago, then started back up. Now I have the flu and I am coughing so much I am taking this opportunity to quit again. I've only had 2 cigarettes in the last 3 days. Today will be my first smoke free day. I am using the gum to help....I already feel like killing someone lol!

I'm still smoking while TTC. I know i really shouldn't, but i also KNOW for a fact that as soon as i get my BFP i will not touch a cigarette for the next 9 months. I wish i had the willpower to just give up straight away, but i just don't
