Please help...

I had my son when I was 16, and at 19 I became addicted to heroin. I was using almost everyday for about 4 years. I'm clean now and have been for awhile. My boyfriend has came in me quite a few times and I'm not pregnant. Could the drug use made me infertile?  I know I should probably go to a doctor and get it checked but I'm scared that I really might be unable to get pregnant again, and it would kill me to actually hear that from a doctor.
Does anyone know anything about this?

Did he have drug use in his past? If so, drugs can actually cause a male to have a low sperm count, sperm could have malformed shape that causes them not to swim good, but the good news is that there is a prescription to help with that issue. Seek a fertility specialist and they can help u more k. Hope This helps.

The drugs in all honesty probably didn't hurt your chances in getting pregnant. However, you do know that there is only 1 certain time every month you can get pregnant don't you?? If not then your boyfriend may not have been ejaculating inside you on the right days. If you have any questions please just ask.
