Brief Answer:
effects are unclear.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.

The effect of meth on menstruation is not clear.

But biologically it can affect menses. It can delay menses.

Meth can thus be a possible reason if you have missed your period (assuming there are no other medical causes).

Hope this help.

Take care.
Thanks.
