Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. The effects of methamphetamine use on pregnancy and the infant have been less well-studied than those of opiates, alcohol, and cocaine. But still, it can be safely assumed that as meth affects the pleasure - release path of the brain, it could easily affect the egg production cycle and egg health.

Meth contains highly toxic and destructive chemicals and other ingredients that have been shown to cause cancer and other diseases which effect neurological development. These substances are capable to destroy the eggs even. They could also affect the pregnancy period even if you are conceived. I suggest you to quit meth.

Good luck. Take care.
