My fiance and I were recently diagnosed
with Chlamydia. I have had symptoms of it
(pain during intercourse) for about 7
months (we have been together for 1 year
and he was the first that I had been with)
but wasn't tested for it because I have
had large ovarian cysts in the past which
is what I though caused the pain. Looking
back I see now that it was probably more
likely a sign of the infection. About two
months ago I went to an OB/GYN because we
had just moved, and he did an exam with
his hands and said that I might have a
cyst on one of my ovaries, but said
nothing about the possibility of an std.
And now I am scared that I have had this
for a year, and I know that it causes
infertility in both men and women. I am so
scared that having this for so long has
damaged my organs, or made him infertile
and we won't be able to have kids. Help!
How long before you become infertile! Are
there fertility tests to check for both
men and women?

It takes a long time for you to become
infertile. go to your OB/GYN and ask.
normally a test for chlamydia is not done.
so ask for the test and about that
