[|AI|]  Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Kindly stop thinking negatively as it can negatively affect CSI result by increasing your stress. Though it's true that smoking slightly reduces chance of pregnancy, it's not that it will lead to 0% pregnancy rate. You can negate the side effects of smoking by eating diet rich in antioxidants/taking nutritional supplements. It's quite understandable to have the stress of such an invasive & costly procedure, but please don't stress overpower you. Regarding chances of getting pregnant, it depends on many factors like the quality of sperms your doctor gets during retrieval, the centers' baseline success rate etc. Your treating doctor is best judge regarding prediction of that chance. Hope this helps you. Wish you good health.
