Is being intoxicated while impregnating someone dangerous for the baby?

Hi all,

I am curious how being intoxicated effect male sperm or the female egg during conception?

If a man is on MDMA (XTC) and alcohol and gets a woman pregnant who is also on the same chemicals, is there any added danger to the baby? Or are the sperm and egg healthy as normal as long as the woman remains healthy for the remainder of pregnancy?

Thanks in advance!

    There’s nothing there quite yet.
    When sperm is deposited near the cervix, it’ll swim up into the fallopian tubes. If the woman ovulates, the egg will drop and they’ll meet in about six hours.
    There’s another 4-5 days before it implants itself in the uterus.

    There’s no baby yet. The only thing I’d be worried about is being on drugs and trying to conceive, honestly. These drugs might cause her body to miscarry or keep it from attaching.

    Don’t do drugs and then expect to start a healthy family. You’re not ready.
