Q: Pregnant After Chylamidia??

Hi, I am so very worried about my fertility..I was diagnosed with having chylamidia 2 years ago, and was completely shocked. I only got tested as had broken up with my one and only boyfriend who I had been with for 4 years..I was treated straight away, and the fact that c can lead to infertilty absolutely terrifies me as my sole purpose in life is to one day have a baby, I am 22 now. People have told me that they have to say it is very serious and can lead to infertility so that it scares ppl into using protection, however it is not just a scare tactic as I am hearing and reading more and more about ppl who are infertile as a result of having c. I do not have nay idea how long I had the infection for, it could have been for the whole time or the last few weeks, there is no way of knowing..But is there anyone out there who has had a baby or knows of someone who has had a baby after having c for more than a year?? During the last year of our relationship I was expriencing pain during intercourse as if there was a cut in the entrance of my vagina, but no blood, and this pain wud make this area sore for arond 24 hours, so in the end I just went right of sex..The doctors never tested me and said it was due to me being tense, or once the vagina has experienced trauma, (i.E. I was cut/hurt at one time during sex with him for example) the body remembers this, and it could also be scar tissue..Anyway now I have learnt that pain during sex is one of the symptoms of c, I was wondering if anyone has a similar experience re the pain? Also does it only lead to infertility if you have pid aswell? As I don't think I did as didn't have any abdominal pain..I wish so much the doctors had examined me then..But now my only concern is my fertilty, and to top it off I have had v irregular periods for the past 2 yrs since coming off the pill..Thank you x

Same Situation
You know just browsing though here I came up to your board and i'm actually in the same situation here. I'm 22 and was diagnosed with chlamydia in 04 but was never told till 05 and was treated then. My concern too is fertility b/c I desperately want a baby. My fiancee and I are trying for one but it has only been a couple of months. I think since you and I are young that our body has time to recuperate with c. In the other hand, have you tried having a baby b/c specialists and doctors won't test you for fertility until you have been trying for a year? I am also looking for answers and I did speak to my doctor and he told me that I shouldn't worry that I should see what happens. But in the meantime, it has been nerve racking for me every month, trying to find out if I am pregnant or not! If you have any new info, please share them with me b/c what my doc is telling me isn't comforting at all!!!

a bit of hope for winny and jenny i hope!
after having had similar symptoms to winnie with the pain during sex and bleeding i decided to go to my doctor and asked to be screened for chlamidia, as you guessed it came back possitive. i had already been reading up on the lasting effects while waiting for the results and had terrified myself. i too was desperate to have children one day and the thought of not bein able to nearly drove me to depression. i also couldn't determin how long i had been infected. this also added to my anxieties as i had just got engaged to my partner of 4 years. he too took the test and found out that he didn't have it which proved i had had it 4 longer than 4 years. then just after xmas this year i started getting alot of breast pain, a pregnancy test revlealed i was pregnant to my amazement!! i just came across your messages and thought i'd join thesite to give you both some hope. good luck.
Aimee
