So you've been treated for clamydia then thats a good thing have u ever had your appendix taken out? Becuase that can be a cause but its mostly clamydia or gonnoria thats causes it if you've been treated I think you should be fine unless its scared your tubes or other things they think thats whats happened to me. I'll let u know when I get my tests bak

I don't think I can have children eiather and I am 22 years old and I have been married for 2 months. I think I might have pid, it;s so pinfull to have sex i'm always cramping befoe and after my period and when i'm on my period I am doubled over in pain. I have always had a discharge ever seince I was little. But every doc I have been to tells me nothing is wrong and that I should be fine to have children one day. But apart of me knows that I wont be blessed with children. I was pregnate once when I was in the army. I didn't know I was pregnate and 2 weeks after we depoyed to iraq I had a misscarage from the stress and fear from going there. 3 weeks after that I have to hve my appendex removed. Ever sence I have had my appendex removed the pain has doubled into what I feel now. So I know you want children. I do too. I'm not very religious but every night I ask god for just one child just one I don't need any more than that I just want one. Hang in there sweetie you sound like a tuff person. Your not alone just remember that ok.

Hey if you've been pregnant then b4 then you've got a good chance so I hear i've researched pid and gonnerhia and clamydia aren't the only ways to get it I know that if you've had your appendix removed that can cause it due to bacteria but darl remember where I live its something like 76% of couples will concieve within 12 months and 9% within 18 months. Maybe you should speak to your doc and have some tests done. Good luck girls i'll keep you posted take care

Why do they say you may not be able to have one? Whats the reason, then I may be able to think of something to help hopefully.

my sister in law has been trying to get pregnant for the past 7 years now. She went to so many differnt doctors who told her that it was all in her mind, one even told her to quit her job becuz she wass to stressed and that's why it wasn't happening and so she did, didn't work for a whole year. Another doc. Told she & my brother to take a trip overseas, spend time just relaxing and so they did. All of this and still nothing. Eventually one day I asked her if she thot her tubes mite be blocked, she said no doctor ever mentioned anything like that to her, so she went to a completely different ob/gyn and he did that dye test where you can check to see if your tubes are blocked and lo and behold, they were so badly blocked that by the time they opened her up he cudn't even repair the right one becuz it was so badly damaged, but he managed to reapir theleft one. He did tell her however that she had to get pregnant within that year of the opration other wise the left one wud close back up and he cudn't go back in to unblock it again, that wud be it for her. He told her that had she been checked for that dye test sooner things mite have been different :( now she is seeing a fertility specialist to see what she can do for her.
Maybe you can ask your doc to do the test and see what happens. You never know, anything is possible. I always say, I know that we deond alot on our doctors to tell us what is happening with our bodies, but they are only human and sometimes they make mistakes and over look stuff, so we have to help them along. No harm in asking, hear whathe says and if you are not satisfied, get a scond opinion. My siste rin law had plenty.

I'm 20 going on 21.I had my appendix taken out when I was 5 years old, and I just recently got diagnosed with PID. I'm married and I have a baby from my previous boyfriend, but I would eventually want to have a baby with my husband now. I just don't know if I'm going to be able to. And I don't think I can deal with a miscarriage. I can't stop thinking about how bad I'm going to feel if I can't give him a baby. I get depressed just thinking about it.and I don't wanna be like this anymore. I need help. Please.
