I was just wondering if heavy drug use can effect the period. Or could it be Im pregnant?
The use of street drugs, smoking or alcohol can sometimes change your usual menstrual cycle. Your chance of becoming pregnant or getting a sexually transmitted infection (STI) is also increased if you use drugs and/or alcohol. That is because people tend to become more careless about the birth control that they use, or forget to use any at all. Drug and alcohol use is also a serious issue if you have become pregnant putting you and your baby at risk for health problems. If you have missed a period, there is the chance that you are pregnant. If you have concerns about a missed or late period, you can visit a health care provider such as a physician, walk-in clinic or if you live in Calgary, one of the Calgary Health Region’s Family Planning Clinics for advice and/or a free pregnancy test.
