Heroin and Infertility?

I am a 23 year old female. I quit using drugs 2 months ago, but I was doing drugs on and off for 2 years. 2 months of that time I was using Heroin. Say I want to have children in 5 years, do you think this history will effect my child greatly or is 5 years enough time to clean out my reproductive organs?

Doesnt make you infertile. Atleast not in woman? I know a few females who have been long term addicts who have had kids during their addiction.
It can however cause miscarriage, deformation, etc. if your prego.
