How Long You Had Chlamydia For? Posted: 01-25-06 12:04pm
I just got my test results and I got
chlamydia that i'm currently being treated
for. I will not be trying to get
pregnant for maybe another year and I was
wondering if I can get some replies to see
for how long someone has had it and were
you able to get pregnant?
I've had it for about 2 years. I know
everyone's body is different, but anyone
knows how long it takes on average to get
a significant damage done that would lead
to infertility (assuming that by now it
turned into pid). Thank you very much
for taking time to answer!

I have heard that damage can be caused by
pelvic inflammatory disease. You can
have pid and not even know it. Pid is
caused by sexually transmitted diseases in
most cases. Doctors say that it can
cause damage in a year if left untreated.
I would go back to your doctor and make
sure they ruled out pid since you had the
disease that long. I really hope you
don't have any complications, I just want
you to know that it is serious.

Thanks! I started having symptoms about a
year ago - little burning when urinating,
vaginal discomfort. Thought that yeast
infection or uti was causing that. I'm
sure by now I would have the pid. But
never will be sure how much damage is
done. Kicking myself on the head for not
being tested over the course of the last 2
years...

I was diagnosed my last doctors visit on
the 13th of jan. That I had hpv with
small and few warts. Since I already have
pre cancerous cells it makes my chances of
getting cervical cancer higher then
before. I really dont know to much about
chlamydia but you should look it up. Get
some information from some sites.
