Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM .

If you need good sperms then you should not drink alcohol nor smoke, cocaine or anything.

You should stop them as soon as possible. But atleast you should stop 3 months before you start infertility treatment.

These cause decreased motility of sperms and also abnormalities in sperm.

Hope I have been helpful .
