Home Improvement Contractor - Licensed Contractors

I work in a paint shop. Will this affect my husband and I from TTC?

I work for a painting contractor, 5 days/week and 8 hours/day. Some days there are strong smells of oil based paint that actually make me have headaches, allergies, etc. It actually smells like paint everyday, but I am used to it now that I've been working here for a couple of years. This is my job, so unless I quit working here the conditions will not change. Will this cause complications in TTC?

1. I don't know about trying to conceive but is not healthy when you are pregnant. It will effect the health of the unborn baby. This is a questions I would definitely talk to you GYNO/OB about.
2. I don't know if it will cause you to not conceive but I would not recommend staying there after you do conceive. Paint fumes can me harmful to your baby.
3. well it certainly not good for u. u said theres strong smell, u have headaches/allergies...and it will def,not b good when u get preg. u cant b workin in such a place lik that if ur pregg. its not good 4u nor the baby. so my advice its pretty clear which i think the most people here will say..try findin another job. or c if theres any other room where u work that u can stay that dosnt have that smell or anything.
