    If you are trying to get pregnant you NEED to stop smoking "weed."

    With that said, it can take the average healthy couple up to a year or more of actively trying to conceive. Have you been tracking your ovulation?

    Get the weed out of your body first. Then start trying to track your ovulation. If your periods are regular it will be easier. Have your boyfriend stop smoking weed as well as marijuana can cause damage to sperm.

    Stop smoking, start taking a prenatal vitamin, treat yourself as though you are pregnant. Eat healthy, get rest, don't drink or smoke. Then it's all up to mother nature.

    Again, it can take a year or more for a healthy couple to conceive.

    Stop for a month? You plan on starting again once you get pregnant?

    If you stop for a month you might get pregnant, but there is no guarantee.

    You get the weed out by stopping smoking. There is no other way.

    You will have to be patient. I can't say enough that it takes the average healthy couple up to a year or more of actively trying before conception happens.

    Since you and your significant other are not in the "healthy" category as you smoke marijuana, it may take you longer. All you can do is stop smoking and be patient.

    Are your periods regular? If so, you might want to use an ovulation predictor kit that you can by from the pharmacy. There are OPK predictors that you can get online or even on your smart phone.

    Start taking a multivitamin or a prenatal vitamin. Eat healthy, get plenty of rest.

    You may even want to make a preconception appointment with your OB/GYN.

    That can cause low birth weight, premature labor, and breathing difficulties such as asthma.

    Don't forget that the baby will have to go through withdrawals once it is born and that's not a pretty sight.

    Also, depending on where you live, there is a risk of losing custody of the baby because of drug use.
