I'm about 8 weeks pregnant, and my baby's father, as well as my boyfriend whom I am having unprotected sex with, has just quit using meth. I know meth stays in your system for up to 6 months. I'm just wondering if he is ejaculating inside me, if this can effect the fetus? He has been clean for a few days now, and is staying quit. I just need to know if we should use a condom for a while?
Btw, I don't need anyone to tell me that I shouldn't be with him, because he was using drugs. I've heard it before & you don't know our situation. I just need advice on this, please and thanks :o)
I was watching one of those drug documentary type shows on tv a few months ago and I'm not sure how similar meth and cocaine are, but the show said that if a man who uses cocaine ejaculates inside a woman it harms HER. It's only my assumption that it would be the same with any hardcore drug.
Again, I do not KNOW for a fact if it's the same for meth, I just assume so.
However, from the parenting classes I've taken in high school and college, I can also safely assume that his ejaculating inside you DOES hurt the fetus. I definitely suggest using condom until the baby is born.
Also, one other thing, if he was using during the sex that got you pregnant, that could also effect the baby, causing issues such as addiction or birth defects. That's just another thing I learned in a parenting class. I'm no expert on the matter, nor would I claim to be.

As a disclaimer, I used Google to search some information on this question. It is an interesting question because I've never thought about it. What I found was that yes, it is possible. Now, don't quote me on this because you never know if these people are just making assumptions lol. Your best bet would be to A: Use a condom until you find a sure answer to your question and B: discuss this with your Doctor, simply because he or she will know what is best for your and your baby. I hope you find the help you need, and congratulations on the pregnancy :D
