In their dried form, white-out, paint chips, etc. really aren't that dangerous, unless the paint has heavy metal pigments in it. In an INHALED form (which is what I wonder if you are truly asking here?), there are many long-term systemic effects. Most of them are neurological, muscular, and kidney-related. There are effects on the bone marrow. There is no mention of infertility as a long-term effect.. See below link:
http://www.inhalants.org/damage.htm
If a woman is using inhalants while pregnant, there is a great risk to the developing fetus. Someone I am very close to made the difficult choice to not carry a child to term for that reason. Inhalant abuse is very common, and there is help available to those who are victims. No-one has the right to judge another until s/he has been there. That you survived and learned is to your credit.
If you and your husband are having trouble conceiving, see a fertility specialist. There may be an underlying problem of another cause, but I doubt your past has made you infertile. The 3 most common causes of infertility in someone your age are:
1) PID scarring of the fallopial tubes
2) endometriosis
3) low sperm count in the man
Good luck to you.

Well if you put these chemicals into a petri dish with human cells, the cells can mutate and die (or worse yet, become cancerous).
So there is the HYPOTHETICAL point that--
1) You've been made infertile by using these substances, or
2) If you do conceive, your child will be at greater risk for cancer-type diseases
This is all theoretical, and I have no idea if there's any correlation to real life. But just something you can think about.

dont think we who reply on this site are qualified enough to answer that - unless theres a doctor on the site, perhaps you should go to a different doctor or some specilaist and get another opinion
hope is works out ok for you

you may have had something called pica syndrome- where you eat inedible things. I think you should see a fertility specialist if you are really wanting to know. Good luck

Only your doctor can answer that question with any degree of accuracy after running a number of tests.
