My bf used to smoke crack and anything else he could get his hands on. He has been clean for over a year, we want to have a baby but so for no luck. Could all these drugs he's done effect his sperm?

It depends on how long you have been trying. It takes an average couple up to a year of truly active trying (during your fertile period, every 2 to 3 days).
Of course, you must still consider whatever poisons he inundated his body with damaged his reproductive organs.

some drugs do slow your sperm down. He should probably go have a sperm count done. You should also get a physical to make sure your not having any problems. Call your dr. and set up an appt.

Definately! Check this out:
Recreational drug use has been associated with male infertility. Narcotics like heroin, amphetamines, cocaine and PCP have been linked with a decrease in libido, erectile dysfunction and ejaculatory problems. Heroin, as well as other drugs, has been shown to disrupt normal hormone production causing diminished LH and testosterone levels. However, both of these hormones are need in order for the male reproductive system to function properly and for healthy sperm development.
Cocaine in particular has been shown to significantly impact a man's fertility and even contribute to birth defects in a child. Men who use cocaine have been found to have lower sperm counts, reduced sperm motility, as well as an increase the amount of abnormal sperm. Cocaine use just prior to conceiving has also been associated with birth defects in children.

Certain drugs can lower sperm count. If you're both truly serious about having a baby, I suggest he go to a doctor to get his sperm count checked.

absolutely! It can affect his sperm and you could either not get pregnant or have a baby with problems. I'm not sure when you would be in the clear for having children.

Yes. His sperm count may be very low now because of all the drugs.

His past can affect his ability to create sperm. However, unlike women who have all their eggs when they are born, men make new sperm every time. So his current sperm are drug free.

it's possible..the only way to tell is if he goes to the doctor's to get a sperm count. Drugs do affect the reproductive organs.
