Cystitis after sex

in Trying to conceive

I get cystitis each time I have sex with my partner. We don't use condoms as we are TTC  but when we did use condoms at the start of our relationship, I didn't get cystitis, so i think I must be getting bacteria from my boyfriend. 

Now I am worried about this as I had chlamydia a few years ago for 9 months. I had no symptoms and it was treated successfully with antibiotics. Before I had chlamydia, I never had cystitis after sex so I'm  wondering if I the reason I get it all the time now is because I had chlamydia and this caused damage to my cervix and fallopian tubes and has left me prone to infection. 

I am so worried chlamydia has damaged me and made me infertile. 

Has anyone else been through a similar experience and still managed to have a baby? 

Thank you.

    Hiya, I had chlamydia about 6 years ago and I've had cystitis a few times too! I don't think they're related... Not sure though! Anyway I'm now 19 weeks pregnant so it hasn't affected me!! Good luck I'm sure everything is fine image

    The way to prevent cystitis from sex is to always have a wee straight after see the reason you get cystitis is because a little bit of bacteria goes into your urethra. If you have a wee it simply flushes away anything alien and 'cleans' your urethra. I suffer from the same problem. Every now and again I think I won't have a wee, it'll be ok... and then I nearly always get cystitis.
