Service U is right
you should not spend so much time worrying if you are infertile; not least because it's been proved the more stressed a woman is the less likely she is to conceive - the body tries to regulate fertility to coincide with the best conditions for successful pregnancy. Anxiety is as inhibiting to pregnancy as a physical problem. So first of all stop worrying so much. Try to enjoy other things in your life. Me, I worried so much when my husband left me with a young baby that I wouldn't be able to cope, and that my son would be messed up and never succeed but he is growing into a fine, responsible young man and I'm pretty sorted despite never finding a good relationship since! Worry is destructive and life is short. End of lecture! good luck and stay positive

Hi Peaches!
I too have a similar story. I caught chlamydia when i was 15 to the guy I lost my Virginity to. We broke up for a few months and when we got back together, he admitted having sex with someone while we were broken up. I was so young and did not know much about STD's then but remember we had really painful intercourse and I thought I was just experiencing chronic yeast infections. Well we broke up for good again after Junior Prom and several months later, I went to the regular checkup with the gyno and was diagnosed. Was treated right away but had Chlamydia for atleast 6 to 8 months before I was treated.
I did not know that this could cause infertility until a few years ago and am quite upset of not knowing if I have damaged my tubes as well. I am 33 now and married for 2 years and want to start trying to concieve but this incident is in the back of my head constantly worrying if i even can! I went to the Gyno about 2 months ago and told him I would be getting off Birth Control in December but explained my worries. He said that once I try and don't concieve in a year, then he would do further testing. Hell I am 33 and want to know now if I need to explore other options like invitro. I asked another doctor what is considered a long time to have Chlamydia before it causes damage and she said 6 months, there is a possiblity but how much, she could only determine that by a test called hysterosalpingogram which is an xray of the tubes while contrast dye is injected into the tubes. This will be able to determine if the tubes are open.
I hope this helps any but hopefully since you started this foroum in May, you will have concieved. definitly let me know because it will give me hope for my situation too. I decided myself to get off birth Control starting this month and use condoms or the old pull out method until december and claim I have been trying for 5 months already so i can get the test done sooner! I am only waiting because i am in Clinical for school studying to be a Respiratory Therapist and don't want be huge and pregnant running around the Emergency Room trying to save lives.
Again good luck and keep me posted and I will do the same!
