Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
Use of drugs is known to possibly affect pregnancy.
It might contribute to low fertility levels by decreasing the sperm count/motility in men and quality of ovum in females.
Also, use of weed, may interfere with implantation after fertilization or has a high chance of miscarriage followimg implantation.
Also, some of the drugs could also known to be associated with birth defects in fetus.
