chlamydia & infertility - urgent advice- sick with worry
Hi,
We have only just started ttc but before i even start i have a nagging feeling im infertile. So much so i havent slept a wink last night worrying about it.
Here is the story - When iwas at uni i caught chlamydia i didn't know i had it unil a smear test showed it up - i think around 9 months after contracting it. The worry i have is i think i developed PID as i had pain during sex and pain while peeing. I don't know for definite but im worried sick, im actually feeling sick as i type, i have tears rolling down my face.
I never actually had PID diagnosed only the chlamydia which was treated. Does this mean my tubes are blocked? I really would just love some advice on this. Im witing by the phone to call the dr to try and mak an appointment asap as its making me sick with worry that i may have ruined my chances of having a family.
Has anyone else had chlamydia and got pregnant? or pid and got pregnant?

I know its different for everyone, but i went through all the same emotions as you, thinking i would never have children of my own. If you are concerned, please go and speak to your doctor, as they may be able to send you for tests to see if you do have PID, and also to see if your tubes and everything look healthy.
Sending you lots of big hugs xx

Hi, I have never had chlamydia, but i did have a tubal pregnancy for no obvious reason. Obviously it was devestating, but i have subsquently gone on to have my little boy and am pregnant again. I need did fertility treatment first time (clomid) but that was nothing to do with my tubes. Also a good freind of mine only has 1 tube and concieved naturally. Another has terrible PID and she concieved within a few months too..
I know its easier said than done but try not to worry, things tend to work out fine, and even if you have some difficulty they is so much that can be done, i bet you dont find it a problem. good luck
tank u all for ur encouragement. i have had recurrent pid and my tubes are still open, i want to believe i still have a chance .

hi, ive read loads of comments and am happy for people who have conceived. im really worried that i cant have children as when i was really young i had to have an abortion and ive had chlamidia im really worried that i cant have children because of stupied things in my past me and my partner have been trying to conceive for almost a year, were not sure if i might of had a miscarrage awhile back. but now im not sure if i can have children or not carry them im really scared now and would like some advice.i think god is punishing me for my mistakes
I hope this isn't a punishment he's a little miracle and it will hurt me to not have any more
please help I'm worrying
Sounds like a lot of people are just as worried as each other! I've been searching for ages trying to find sources that show having chalmydia doesn't mean you're infertile!
I caught it from my bf when I was 18, I think it got treated in around 4 months... I know this is a short time compared to some people, but in those 4 months I was sent to hospital for pain and bleeding; I bled for 3 months, my lower abdomen swelled up and I was in a lot of pain constantly.
I'm worried that even though it was only there for a short amount of time, the symptoms may mean that it did its worst in that time - Does anyone have experience of this?
Also, in response to some one above: if what I had for those 3 months was PID, I think it was around 2 weeks it took to come on.
it was a nice day when i know i have chlamydia early, so i can get treatment for it and that is good for me and my baby in the womb.
Hi all, glad to hear some positive post PID stories.
I was diagnosed with chlamydia yesterday. Think I have had it for up to 6 years. I got pregnant no bother with my first child just over 3 years ago but I suspect after giving birth it was able to spread North and affect my organs higher up and turn into PID. So I am just praying that it has not done too much damage in the last 2.5 years... although I have a cyst on my tube which can't be good. Only diagnosed after TTC for 9 months.
Fingers crossed for you all... I feel like I have just been hit by a train!
Always got tested after having sex with a new partner but unfortunately was led to believe if the female partner was tested that was sufficient... wish I had asked him to get tested too now! Back in the early days not so easy to ask though
