Not too old: No, chronologically you're not to old to have children -- but are you still using meth and opiates? Are you getting help for that, and for your response to the rape? The latter is hard for anyone, and covering it up with drug use all too common. Meth and opiates will lead to death. Any kids you might have would need you to be a consistent parent. Please get help if you're not. Be well.

Depression: Congratulations on overcoming such an awful experience. You can still have a baby, consult with a gynecologist in your area for more information. You are certainly not too old. Best wishes.

Pregnancy planning: If not actively using and r in treatment, u are still young enough to plan for that. Wondering if u are planning and hoping for a boy or girl?. Either one, raise them well and use all the support u can get.
