Can Using Methamphetamine Cause Delay In Period?

I have been using methamphetamine on and off for 5 months. I am sexually active with my husband and I am not on birth control and he doesn t pull out. I am 11 days late for my period. I took a pregnancy test 4 days ago and it came up negative. Is it the meth?

Hello,
Though there is no known relation directly to causing a delayed period, this drug has so many side effects. I would ask you to stop using it especially if you are contemplating pregnancy. I am sending you a link here to go through details of this drug.

In the current scenario, please go ahead with a trans-vaginal sonogram and a proper clinical appraisal by a specialist to plan further management. Take care.
