I recently have experimented with crystal meth and after a couple days of use, I began to have menstral bleeding. I am on the IUD and since getting the implant a year ago, I haven t had any bleeding other than occasional spotting. The bleeding I m currently having isnt as heavy as an average period but enough to need a regular size tampon. There are also small clots. My question is, can crystal meth cause my IUD birth control to become ineffective? As in not prevent pregnancy? I want to make sure I m not at risk of getting pregnant.
it certainly will NOT lower effectiveness of an IUD. cause risky sex behavior, lower appetite and cause malnutrition and bleeding... probably, but not lowering effectiveness directly of the IUD.
